Played golf with the only watch in the world that I dare to play golf with.

Key Points from the Discussion
- The author's Rolex has endured significant G-forces from golf, reached 65,000 feet and Mach 2 in a fighter jet, and been used for scuba diving and rock climbing over 27-28 years without a single service.
- Experiencing Mach 1 or 2 in a jet is described as surprisingly smooth, with the sensation of breaking the sound barrier being minimal, primarily indicated by instruments. The speed of sound is not constant, varying with altitude.
- Another contributor shares a personal regret about not experiencing supersonic civilian flight, expressing hope for future technological advancements to fulfill this aspiration.
- The thread is discussion-light, with several replies consisting solely of images of other watches, not directly contributing to the substantive discussion of the original post.
