Rolex and Billiards
A week or two back I saw a post about this guy worried about wearing his Rolex while playing the drums, but never read it. Got me thinking because I've been playing a lot of pool lately and I usually just play it safe and take the Rolly off before. Is there risk of damaging the internal mechanism in any way from activities such as billiards or drumming, etc? Or any effects such as causing the watch to run slow/fast?

Pool? No. Your Rolex probably get more shock from holding the steering wheel in your car.

Watches, belts and rings etc are banned from my billiard table.
 I have friends with sad stories regarding this issue.

If you can clap your hands without fear while wearing a Rolex, then pool/billiards should be fine!

When the boys come over for a game I usually win.
'Cos you can't play snooker with one hand and hold your pants up with the other.

I shot a few games last night with my DD on. No problems. I was more worried about spilling my scotch.
