Are you my double ?

You surely should wear your ROLEX to golf, 'cuz it's simply a beautiful thing.

Went swimming under the hot afternoon sun, love the tan line

Catching the club head in a foot of fescue, causing the club head to come to a complete stop, and making you grab your left wrist due to the shooting pain in that region, should not bother your ROLEX!

And you thought you could fly that ball a 150 yds, from the rough, with a 9 iron?

Let me know if either of you decide to flip one of your Rollies!

I wouldn't golf without it. Nothing throws your opponent off his game like gazing longingly at your wrist.

Alexwwjd · 26 July 2009, 01:10 AM

Sexner, you could be the next "most interesting man in the world"... I would suggest "dos equis" hire you

sexner · 27 July 2009, 11:32 PM

Thanks, Alex.

My cervesa of choice while in Mexico is Sol, but the Dos Equis thing does sound interesting.

I could surely tell a story or two.

Brushpup · 27 July 2009, 11:43 PM

I like Sexner! Thank God someone answered this with something definitive. This should be a sticky and put an end to all the future CAN I?? Posts.

I can verify a few of these myself, and I'm not the least surprised ROLEX can handle them ALL!!

Thanks for your service Sexner and your invited for a cold one if you ever find yourself in West TX.

Thanks Patrick - I will take you up on that when we are down your way in the near future. Yeah, the years I spent in the military were some of the toughest times I have spent and I NEVER once gave the Rolex on my wrist a second thought.

Well the AD selling patek has clearly told me never to wear pateks while playing golf! tiny complications can get disturbed... my 2 cents .... since i cant argue over the rolex since so many have shared their experience....

Although Pateks are beutiful watches they are not toolwatches.
A Rolex toolwatch as has been stated in this thread and several others can take quite a bit of beating :)

Hacking out of the rough 10 or more times in a round is a great way to test your watch.
And boy do i know about hacking out of the rough.

AIKO · 28 July 2009, 06:22 AM

I play competitive/tournament tennis. I have worn my Sub daily for the past 6 months or so with zero issues.

GEZ7ch · 28 July 2009, 06:31 AM

I can't believe i'm saying this since just a few weeks ago I was so anal about my watch, not doing almost nothing that might scratch it or so, but as long as your not diving into a pool of chemicals or boxing, I believe you should wear it for whatever you want. it is a watch and was made for wearing almost all the time

snow_rocks · 28 July 2009, 06:49 AM

I stopped playing golf with my Rolex.

It cheats all the time!!!

Hahaha ...

for a round with Mr. Goldfinger, a DD would be appropriate - but I bet he would also wear one ;-)
