Better hope Bigfoot isn't on a 2 year waitlist for a GMTII or it's going to be a whole lot less safe.

The altitude just voided the warranty on the watch. It’s ruined. Just throw it away.

Technically, it was a pre-Daytona. But a Rolex Chronograph, just the same.

Are you not worried about the cold temperatures causing the movement to seize up ?

enjoythemusic · 22 February 2020, 07:01 AM

Love it... (said friendly-like) yet isn't a Polar better for that? As an fyi, climbing glaciers in Alaska is why i got the Polar.

I've heard that you shouldn't take a Rolex to high altitudes, the thinner air will ruin the seals.
