Rolex on the golf course??
Just wondering if a golf swing will damage or wear out an automatic movement. I have heard various anecdotes on this from friends at the office, but wanted to check in with The Experts
Thanks very much for your thoughts on this |

On the contrary, a Rolex may affect your golf swing if you're wearing a gold, platinum, DSSD.

Depends on your swing speed and how bad you chuck the shot.

There is simply no way a Rolex movement could survive the speed of my swing. Kidding of course. As the others have said you should have no issues. I absolutely hate golfing with a watch on but that's just a personal thing.

It'll be fine. Personally, I don't wear it because it's uncomfortable.

The watch can stand the impact. The back of my wrist doesn't enjoy being banged by a heavy watch case during a golf swing. |
