Aspen Trip - It Is Safe!

Great day on the slopes with the 116500. And yes it’s safe to ski with a Rolex. I’m pretty sure the watch is happy that it got to enjoy a great day.

Sorry man but skiing just isn't all that safe!!! BTW, great watch and area. I've only motorcycled through there during the summer time.

Snowboarding is safer! I prefer not to send my knees in separate directions!

Great pictures. I used to fly for a commuter airline that serviced Aspen from Denver, Rocky Mountain Airways. I have some very fond memories of the place.

How dare you size the bracelet, take off the stickers, remove the watch from the bank vault, and let it see the light of day. That temperature probably ruined the watch and now it won't hold +/-2 sec anymore. You should now just wrap your entire arm in bubble wrap until you can get it serviced and back to the bank.


ROFL. It's good to see you enjoying the watch and trip to Aspen.

Ceramic is susceptible to fracture in cold temps at elevation. You should send it to me in Denver for safe keeping until you leave.

Perfect watch for skiing/snowboarding (especially the white dial.) Did you use the chronograph to time your runs?

It's been too since I hit the slopes. Really been missing it lately.

I agree; skiing isn't safe for me regardless. I'm just not that good and get pretty bruised up. Used to live in Tucson and would ride through that country. Later moved to Bend, Oregon which had Mt. Bachelor. Great skiing but we kept to cross country and snow shoes. It was a blast regardless.
