Depends how you ski!
If you're as slow and careful a skier as I am, I'd say it's pretty safe to wear it. On the other hand, if you're as clumsy and incompetent a skier as I am, I'd say it's not a good idea at all.

thanks all
i finally opted for one of the metal G Shock to make sure it's safe. Irony is as i have not worn them for a while, it ran out of battery so i ended up with no watch but this was fine tbh. Cheers, Kev
Built as a dress watch, wearing it for skiing is not its original intent but
why not if you wish to, assuming that you will not have nasty falls. Let us know what you decide.
Ok thanks a lot all
I am not a super extreme skier but will not escape from a few falls. I won’t take it with me Maybe I could wear the DJ but I keep hearing it’s not safe to wear Rolex anymore those days … Thanks! Kev
FYI, recently I wore this piece for my
ski trip and had some spills without problems to this watch😃. On the other hand, I had sore muscles for a while 😓 ...
If you can't wear a Rolex under a parka, then that is no mountain to visit!
Take the Rolex, refuse unattended drinks from women you don't know, have a good time!
Why take the risk?
Even if you're an expert skier, there are a lot of other ways to damage a watch besides falling. Chair lifts, other skiers, etc.
Expect for the best,
Prepare for the worse, Don't take it. Falling is the least thing to worry about, but all these "metal" handshakes with lifts, poles, skis, loading/unloading from vehicles, etc are not worth the risk.
Ski Watch
As a frequent and avid skier my advice is if you are doing the level of skiing that for you requires a helmet then you don’t want to wear a dress watch. If you have the helmet on wear a sports watch!
The 5120G is one of my all time favorite Patek !
Take care of it, and yourself of course ))
