Patek Philippe

Hello all

I have been looking for a beater in gold for golfing..  I'm not familiar with the gold Nautilus model (found this 2nd one for sale on the Sales forum for a very very very good price)..  Other than the seller has only 1 post, do you see anything wrong with this one?  The seller claims that the size of the watch is 42mm. 

And if someone could pm me for some pointers on other matters, I would be appreciated.

Hi Holy Cosmic, an advise which was given to me by a director of a very famous brand (1 of THE THREE!) NEVER, EVER play golf with a manual watch. The impact at the moment of hitting the ball is tremendous and the vibrations going through your hands and wrists are extremely bad for your watch. Perhaps it is different with a quartz.

Just passing on something which makes good common sense to me.

Cheers

As a golf pro I can easy say that the 'impact' like people see an impact (from a motion to stop), is not the case with golf.

People get injured because of gripping to strong and blame this on the ' impact'

The motion is ongoing and you just get a 62grams bal in the way... It's nothing.

I played with all kind of watches the last 30+ years and never had any problem with them...

Richard Mille is OK.  you can drive a F1 car with it. 

Jaeger has a range which shock absorbers

but aside from these 2 I dont know any others robust enough for golfing

If I'm not wrong, the Glashütte Original Sport Evolution Impact line has been tested for golf too. These watches are equipped with four shock-absorbing elements crafted in elastomer; GO declares they <

yeah it makes sense that we shouldn't play golf with an automaic watch. My watchmaker already warned me.  but my local golf club just have too many busines acquaintances.  I can't explain why.  just want to be in the 'circle'.   Peer pressures.  Thats why I am finding a beater instead of those from my collection.
