I skied multiple times with my WG sub last year and it was no issue. But then again if my body can handle it I think a piece of metal can too

Been skiing for decades with a Rolex without issue. Can't even think of what the issue would be.

If you ski with an Air King does it turn into a BLNR?

cfoxtrot · 8 December 2018, 02:36 PM

I can. Can't you?

AK DeepSea · 8 December 2018, 02:38 PM

If your arm can do it, your Rolex can too.

Remember the army used to use Rolex I'm pretty sure they got up to worst

harvey · 8 December 2018, 03:04 PM

For future reference, if you can do it so can your Rolex!

HankScorpio · 8 December 2018, 03:07 PM

At Steamboat Springs in Colorado you can ski ON Rolex

Can I play the violin with my Rolex on?

Laszlo · 8 December 2018, 04:23 PM

I wear my Explorer II 42mm every time I go skiing. It's the only watch I trust outside of a G-Shock that will tough it out. Actually, I'm heading to Canada in 2-weeks, going to Whistler... and my Explorer will be with me.

Yup, every time I hear cyclops bashing, I think, "Just wait, you'll see".

mahefa · 8 December 2018, 06:06 PM

I waterski with Rolex on wrist.

Kamen · 8 December 2018, 06:14 PM

I’m surprised nobody asked TS “how about you just don’t wear it while skiing?”

RRGHOST1 · 8 December 2018, 06:25 PM

Wear a G-Shock.

exador · 10 December 2018, 09:19 AM

Put it on a NATO if you're worried.

I agree! Worry about yourself if you break what good will having a Rolex other than to time how long it's taking you to heel

Not quite. It was inside his suit. Poor Ed would've freeze at -100.

The Rolex will migrate to the temperature of your wrist

Watch will be fine. Tough as nails. But if you're really worried, just grab a GShock.

YES.
done it for years, many models, no issues.

but that brings up an idea for a new thread...

Ar_Mi · 10 December 2018, 03:49 PM

I used to snow board all the time with my Rolex, always felt uneasy leaving it in the car or the lockers...

Evoss · 10 December 2018, 07:45 PM

Yes, just don't go and smash it into a slalom pole.

I don't fall that often but I do fall occassionally. I am a little worried about popping the bracelet in a fall. Is that a valid concern?

You cannot do anything with a Rolex watch is meant to be wrapped in bubble wrap if taken out of its box.And while any watch is on anyone's wrist your own body heat will keep watch well above -20c.
