What would happen? Would it make it? Or break it?

kyle L · 12 February 2010, 09:16 AM

I don't know, but last night a pigeon pooped on my Explorer. Will the gaskets get holes?

LouS · 12 February 2010, 09:18 AM

And this question came to you how?

esm · 12 February 2010, 09:19 AM

while dining at KFC?!?
;-)

TattooedGQ · 12 February 2010, 09:20 AM

Try it and let us know!

NavitimerNut · 12 February 2010, 09:21 AM

It would go from

to

Yum!!!

TattooedGQ · 12 February 2010, 09:24 AM

Tasty!

OrchidDR · 12 February 2010, 09:28 AM

I would think the boiling oil would "cook" the internal elements very quickly.

And I thought I was the crazy one, whew!

Tempura....

OrchidDR · 12 February 2010, 09:29 AM

I'd like an order of the Tempura Rolex please - TO GO!

Safetrends · 12 February 2010, 09:32 AM

Someone has way to much time on their hands.

The threads started on TRF trump any other forum in regards to sheer amount of stupidity sometimes.

Oh well. Off to start my thread about bowel movements.

Did someone say TimeTOGO?!

oooops, false alarm!

Thomas · 12 February 2010, 09:53 AM

How do you even come up with such a question?

Earl Camembert · 12 February 2010, 09:56 AM

Perhaps the OP was deep frying and had a band malfunction.

I suggest you check out 4chan. I think you will be surprised how stupid the interweb can get.

It's tough to say... I would say that a light, airy beer batter seasoned with salt and maybe some Essence of Emeril would "make it," while panko breading would probably "break it."

Bisquitlips · 12 February 2010, 11:02 AM

dalip · 12 February 2010, 11:03 AM

perhaps the OP has a fetish where he needs to deep fry things....
it's a ridiculous question in any ones book...but I seem to be responding...so not sure what that makes me...

tandrup · 12 February 2010, 11:04 AM

I don't think the real question is "What if..."? - I think it is "Why"?

meloncap78 · 12 February 2010, 11:10 AM

I honestly think it may survive.

Safetrends · 12 February 2010, 11:18 AM

.

Bisquitlips · 12 February 2010, 11:22 AM

I don't care what anyone here says. I am NOT deep frying any of my Rolexes!

And don't think I don't know what you are all up to!

dmc · 12 February 2010, 11:46 AM

I think the OP should do it......

Then post a copy of the service charges from Rolex to service it. At the very least it will cook the rubber o-rings. Thus compromising the water intergrity. At 500* I would imagine the face and hands would suffer a certain permanent deformation. I haven't a clue what would become of the saphire crystal.

If I had to compare this to something else, I would have to compare it to dropping a car from an aircraft without a parachute.

That being said, a Rolex is designed to survive the elements that man can survive. And in the Sea Dweller even more than man can survive in a diving atmosphere.

Why would you want to insult a thing of such technical and aesthetic beauty by even thinking such a thing as this?

He is probably getting a divorce and wants to deep fry his ex wife with her Rolex still on her wrist.

Earl Camembert · 12 February 2010, 11:56 AM

Ask NASA they did the closest thing to high end watches when looking for a watch that can survive on the moon.

Quote:

1. High temperature
48 hours at a temperature of 160°F (71°C) followed by 30 minutes at 200°F (93°C). This under a pressure of 5.5 psia (0.35 atm) and relative humidity not exceeding 15%.

Not exactly deep frying but only one watch passed all of the tests. That watch shall remain nameless.
