Will playing golf or packing a pack of cigs damage a sub. I have seen some posts that say do not play golf in an automatic watch but they are not near that fragile are they?

2-9 irons are OK
putters fine
but stay away from Big Bertha

IMO, get a Tudor Tiger Chrono.

Boy if they are, they sure aren't worth the price!

I can't play golf with any watch period...way uncomfortable for me.

meloncap78 · 14 November 2008, 12:41 PM

I played golf all summer with mine on. Actually, come to think of it, I pretty much do everything with it on. Still keeping excellent time.

As long as you don't do this, you will be ok:

I play golf all the time with my sub or daytona without any fear as I wear it on my left wrist. My right hand releases the mouse button on the backswing at just the right time...

TheVTCGuy · 14 November 2008, 01:23 PM

I play Nintendo golf with mine on all the time, no problems...

Mrdi · 14 November 2008, 01:35 PM

What about the cigs?

Incurable · 14 November 2008, 01:53 PM

I think he means packing them as in smacking them repeatedly in a rapid fashion.... hey, I just described some infamous members here personal lives...

Play golf with an automatic watch is not recommended! No! No!

AJF · 14 November 2008, 09:18 PM

I have a TT OP Date and have played golf most evenings and weekends (summer time) for the last 8 years. The movement is fine, runs about 1/4 of a second fast per day. However as I wear it above the glove it has to be fairly loose on the wrist. As a result, I have stretched one of the main centre link on the six o'clock side. This will need to be replaced at sometime.

Your Rollie will be just fine. Made tough and built to last.

Nigel Tufnel · 14 November 2008, 10:43 PM

Phil Mickelson wears his gold Day Date all the time when he plays and doesn't seem to have much of a problem.

Ivy League · 14 November 2008, 10:45 PM

I get behind my caged drumset and play for hours at a time. I thought for a moment what kind of damage may occur, but forgot about this whole nonsense. When I'm on my drums the adrenaline and dopamine kicks in, and destroying a Rolex seems very petty.

AJF · 14 November 2008, 10:52 PM

Big Phil I think is sponsored to wear a YG DJ with leather strap. I would have thought that Rolex send him a new one every year.

The damage to my bracelet was done by spending hours everyday on the practice ground hitting balls. If you are going to play once or twice a week you are probably ok.

AJF.

No harm whatsoever playing golf, jogging, shooting guns or even god forbid getting your watch wet.I am 100% smoking cigs will not harm your watch in any.But smoking can seriously damage your health a lot more that it will ever damage any watch.
