the dog knows it is undestructible, not worth biting it
better be safe than sorry. This is a brutal sport ;-)
When you hit a golf club it exerts high g forces on any watch. I never wear a watch when playing golf however with this Rolex I don’t even realize it’s on my wrist. It’s old, it’s never been serviced, it’s seen 65,000 ft and Mach 2 in a fighter jet, scuba diving and rock climbing. But apart from few minor scratches it’s perfect. Runs like clockwork and I simply live it.
Unfortunately, I never got to experience the civilian version of such speeds. A small regret, that I might get to fulfill in the coming years if new technology is launched
But to the club head 😉
