I've got to wonder how it would be worse than spirited riding?
Your watch should be on wrist holding the reins - opposite from the hand wielding the mallet and experiencing shock from ball strikes.

As a long standing supporter of the sport with a number of dear friends/acquaintances who are players, as well as instructors, referees and umpires.. .I know of no penalty for doing so.. .just watch your "hook"!! ;) Heck..I've seen Ignacio 'Nacho' Figueras wearing one!!
However, in my humble opinion..since Rolex does indicate the watch shouldn't be worn playing golf..I can't say that I would highly recommend doing so.. not unless they are a sponsor ;) LOL- It is to say the least a high impact sport after-all. PS..Stay safe out there!! |

It's my understanding that the Sub is going to be the best model for activities such as this. Other models aren't quite as hardy. ( It's famous as a "luxury beater.")
TRF: Would anyone like to comment on the durability of the different lines? OP: Which model were you planning to wear? The TT Sub named in your profile? |

Just cannot see the point in wearing any watch playing polo,but anything you can take a Rolex will take more.

Howabout making this one a sticky thread. Perfect thread title, neurotic Rolex owners can just complete the sentance.

Are these threads real?? I'm surprised Rolex ( since they frequent here) hasn't come up with an official " safe to do activity book" they should have it as required reading when purchasing..... Geez....

I think it would be alright as long as you are on top of the horse. It may not fair so well if you are underneath it.

I see. If it is the bracelet that concerns you, maybe use a NATO strap in your teams colors while playing polo?
