Yes it will... if you use your rolex as a spare golf ball!

It won't fly as far though.

The Omega official website says their watches are shock-resistant to 5000g, so I would assume Rolex is about the same.

5000g's is a lot.....like dropping your watch from 6 feet on solid rock.

Sure there is a lot of force at the head of the club, but to dissapate that force you have:

1. the aluminum shaft

2. the rubber grip

3. muscles and body fluids of your hands and wrist

4. the small amount of space between the bracelet & wrist

I think playing golf will not damage your Rolex.

Golf is fine. As the self-appointed representative of every TRF member, I would like to remind you NEVER (note caps) swim with your Rolex.

Just saying.

This can't be a serious question!

I never wear my watch when playing golf. Of course, I haven't played golf in over 45 years. Haven't even hit golf balls in the last 20 years.

Warnsboy · 19 May 2011, 01:03 PM

I play wirh several guys who wear theirs. I have noticed the jubilees on the Datejusts are stretched a bit......I put mine away for the round by longtime habit. I always wear one when I get to the 19th hole though....

hack away

Personally, I don't like a watch on my wrist when I swing. But I'm not worried about damaging the watch.

Grumpy Badger · 19 May 2011, 11:02 PM

Comfort while making your swing is a matter of personal preference but I genuinely believe the only way you could damage your Rolex playing a round of golf would be to place it lovingly on your tee and let rip with a 3 wood!

paddy_crow · 20 May 2011, 11:17 AM

If you're feeling shock in your wrist when the club contacts the ball, I would suggest investing in lessons.

I played all the time with my Sub and GMT II C before I sold it and no problems. These watches are definitely robust enough for golf, tennis etc.

godowning · 20 May 2011, 12:05 PM

I wear one of my Subs every time I play golf.

blackout · 20 May 2011, 04:49 PM

Naaaaaaaah! I played 2years of JR college, 1year playing NCAA golf and mini tours for about 2 years before I realized I needed to a get real job or eat instant noodles and drinl soda for the rest of my life! Hahaha! But, I wore my SUBY everyday hitting about 6 large buckets of balls, plus I played a round of golf everyday! My Suby ran +2 sec a day with no problems! My old coach wore his DJ everyday for over 10 years playing golf with No problems! The muscles and bones in your hands and arms take all the shock!

i need to wear my watch for my swing in order to balance out the weight of my keys in my right pocket.
