Took my sub date off when I went to the gym and left with my buddy to get lunch and drinks after and left my watch in my car for about 7 hours and it was very hot when I went to put it on. Can this cause any damage?

RoyalOac · 10 August 2018, 05:24 AM

you're ok. Subs have gone to war in the desert and jungles and survived.

tyler1980 · 10 August 2018, 05:26 AM

if it didn't get stolen, its fine

You're fine !!

beshannon · 10 August 2018, 05:27 AM

Good thing you are not worried about anything else inside the car

tbonesteak · 10 August 2018, 05:30 AM

I'll deliver the bad news, since nobody else wants to.

It's over, will never work normally again, possible that it will explode when on your wrist and is now dangerous to wear. Unfortunately, inside the case, Rolex has a thermometer that stains a certain color if the watch gets too hot, when they open the case, they'll see the stain, close it back up, void the warranty, and never service again.

I'll help you out and buy the Sub Date off you for $1k to save you from the headache.

All seriousness, you're fine, put it back on and enjoy.

You cannot leave a child in the car but your rolex is fine. Minus the risk of getting stolen.

Crap, I had that backwards for the last year! Good to know I can't leave my kid in the car anymore!

The internals have already melted. All hope is lost.

It is a ss watch, not an ice cream :)

I keep asking my dishwasher at work if he wants to challenge my Rolex vs his g shock by putting them through the dishwasher. He always says. Ok you go first.

Wowwwwwww

Unless this is a troll post, consider yourself both fortunate and cursed that you have the resources to afford such a wonderful watch but also lack understanding of its features and benefits.

Be careful in this scary world, Mr. Great.

Time speeds up when it gets hot, right?

So maybe reset it...

Your watch has no idea what the temperature is.
