The only time a Rolex was tested was in the 1962 test. A Rolex Cosmograph was used. Manual wind, Acrylic crystal, Valjoux 72 movement (now ETA).
The Rolex stopped once during the high humidity test (and restarted), and during the high temperature test the hands warped and bound together..
No Rolex Zenith 4030, or in-house 4130 Daytona has ever been tested by NASA.
