Thread: Is it a Rolex or an Everest?

  1. #1

    Is it a Rolex or an Everest?

    Tough to say. I will let M4tt analyze the lug shape from this grainy image and render his final verdict.
    Analysis of the inscriptions on case back to come at a later date.

    Just kidding
    It is a D Blue for those who didn't know.
    The question is - did he 'carry' it to Augusta? And if so,how?
    Because multiple images on the last hole do not show a watch on his wrist:-)
    Hope you guys all enjoyed the final day at the Masters.

    Woods is sponsored by Rolex. Like in F1, he slapped it on at the end to meet his commitments to Rolex, the same as the F1’s drivers do for their own sponsors.

    I actually bought a Rolex Yachtmaster which was gifted to a Spanish golfer whose name I cannot remember and it had his name on the papers. They often give out watches free to a number of the players at tournaments as they sponsor the timing. Most of these watches then get sold as they just don’t want them.

    Probably to prominent golfers/sportsmen
    If it was Ballesteros or Olazabal or Garcia, I would be chuffed to own it.

    Unbelievable win for Tiger. If you’ve ever noticed most players do not wear a watch when playing, with the exception of Bubba Watson, but when the players are giving their post match media interview, they always have a watch on and generally make it really obvious to get the watch in camera range. Watch Rory next time, he discreetly scratches his nose to give the watch some air time.

    I bet their watch collection are amazing.......

    True. I think the swing and the impact of the club are not kind to watches.
    Tiger wears the D Blue most of the time when not playing

    So once again Rolex employ someone to wear a watch after they do something cool? I don’t need grainy images to see that picture...

    Sadly, this is actually something I can comment on. As a kid I spent years caddying at two rather well known Berkshire golf courses and the idea is that the variation of weight on your wrist spoils your swing. If you always wear the same Watch when playing golf, that’s fine. But variations in mass translate into a messed up swing.

    At at least that’s what I was told. My experience is that golfers are ridiculously superstitious and will happily blame anything but themselves when they lose their ball ... again.

    The fact is that you will not damage a watch with shock transmitted through your arm. You’ll be breaking yourself well before that happens.

    Hitting a ball around a field with a stick seems a quite novel way of by-passing the list at the AD.

    Agreed. Which is why I was not overtly bothered wielding a pick-axe to remove an old rose bush in the garden yesterday and realising I was still wearing my Aquanaut from the concert the previous day (see post earlier).

    I did however switch to the Casio soon after to haul the damn thing down to the bottom of the garden as those thorns are terribly scratchy.

    Golf? What is that - some sort of car?

    I managed to do some damage to a Patek 5980 movement by banging some stakes into the ground. (I used a mallet, not the watch!)

    My IWC started losing time after playing golf with it on.
    I read the manual after this and it specifically states not to wear it for impact sports.

    I'd have taken that to mean boxing or rugby. Unless you have it on the head of the club there isn't much impact during a round of golf.

    I think you will find that Tiger was doing "cool" stuff long before this. In fact wasn't he sponsored by Tag for years. Could it just be that his DSSD was a personal watch - something his bought himself or was a gift from a friend or family (maybe his late father?).

    As for the rest of your post. Nonsense. I very much doubt these guys swinging at 120+ mph, a watch wouldn't make any difference to their swing. It didn't seem effect golfers like Phil Michelson, who often switched between wearing an watch one round, and not the next round. As for superstition maybe, however that's as stretch, given that most pros switch clubs, putters, even ball types, etc, etc, at the drop of a hat.

    However the best reasons I have heard for people not wearing a watch is

    a) because it would leave tan lines,
    b)) a watch (especially worn tight) can get a bit hot and sweaty
    c) it can interfere with getting stuff out of pockets - which golfers do a lot - especially tees and markers
    d) most golfers wear a glove, which gets put on/taken off after every shot. The hand that wears the glove is the usually the same which most people would wear their watch.
    e) Finally, why would professional golfers be interested in wearing a watch, just a distraction. Its not as if they cannot get the time by asking their caddy or looking up at the score boards.


    These days lots a golfers have switched their watch for a wrist GPS device - time AND distance.

    Whoever does not know how to hit the nail on the head should be asked not to hit it at all.

    There's a Smiths for every occasion

    https://www.mwrforum.net/forums/show...burning-bright

    Shame it's from a cricket club rather than a golf club but if it had been a crown green bowls club it would have been a Tiger's woods.

    Remember: in 1953 Smiths were a wholly in-house manufacture and the first to the summit of Everest when Rolex were just a casing-up and marketing outfit.

    I’m perfectly happy for it to be nonsense. It certainly was received wisdom at Sunningdale quite a few decades ago. It also makes sense given how the motor nervous system processes a complex ballistic (the body not the ball) action. However, a few years caddying has given me a healthy distaste for the game, so I’ve not looked into it. There’s an easy and lucrative research project there though.

    So, yes, Rolex were a casing-up outfit whereas Smiths were made complete eubaches, even supplying others (Benson, Garrard, Hermes et al.)

    This isn't a "some might say..." opinion, it's historical fact.

    At the same point in time, Omega, for example, were a manufacture and Rolex were not. They are now, but that's relatively recent development.

    In 1953 Rolex didn't make movements either. These were made by Aegler S.A. While Aegler were, from the thirties, sole supplier to Rolex, they were an entirely separate company and remained so until astonishingly recently.

    More to the point, the movement found sitting under the A296 had scarcely changed from the Aegler 'Rebberg' movement found in many a Gruen Verithin among others. It's apparently one route to some unavailable parts for early Rolex watches!

    If you are referring to M4tt and Rev-O's responses, I actually enjoy them.
    Both know what they are talking about and Rev-O's passion for all things Smith is laudable ( inspite of my difference of opinion on the OTHER thread)
    I quite like Rolex but it is nowhere near what Rev-O feels for Smiths.
    As for some others who repeatedly make snarky comments about Rolex marketing, I pity them:-)

    I have developed a healthy respect for Smiths and am kind of sad they gave up on watches with the Quartz revolution. Who knows we might be looking at a strong British presence in watches today had they persisted.

    My "some might say..." comment was alluding to the fact that you could argue Rolex was a marketing company that happens to make watches. I would not be surprised to learn the headcount in their marketing department was significantly larger than employees tasked with watch manufacture.

    But well done, in any case. You know things, and have to tell someone. You look very clever.

    For the first couple of decades or so, Rolex were not in the business of manufacture at all. They offered a brand and specifications and other people made stuff for them. Not so much in house as outhouse. This changed slowly until, in 2004, they finally brought movement production in house and became a true manufacture.
    In '53 it was still perfectly possible to buy a Dennison cased, Aegler powered Rolex which was still entirely oursourced.

    He has a white dialed ceramic Daytona which he wears a LOT. Far more than mere sponsorship would dictate, so he clearly likes it.

    OK, let's recap.

    In post 21 I posted some facts, as I believe them to be true ("in 1953 Smiths were a wholly in-house manufacture and the first to the summit of Everest when Rolex were just a casing-up and marketing outfit."

    You replied (post 22) by quoting seven of my words and adding the comment "Some might say..."

    No facts, no rebuttal or refutation.

    So I came back with more information (post 25).

    All good, right? Wrong! You then make the bald statement that not only have I "got the wrong end of the stick" but I have done it "so comprehensively that I can only conclude you have done so on purpose." (Post 31)

    Again, facts, no rebuttal or refutation. Just a flat rejection and a little ad hominem dig at the end, to barb the hook.

    But I rose to the fly! "Do go on. Care to refute me with facts?" (post 32)

    And yet it's me being "aggressive"? Umm OK.

    "you could argue Rolex was a marketing company that happens to make watches."

    Well, no, you couldn't. I went to some lengths to show you that they didn't make watches.

    "I would not be surprised to learn the headcount in their marketing department was significantly larger than employees tasked with watch manufacture."

    Any number is larger than zero.

    "But well done, in any case. You know things, and have to tell someone. You look very clever."

    Sigh.

    Some people (including me) have done a lot of research and most of it available online. Unless this is your first day on the internet you should learn to read before you write.

    You replied (post 22) by quoting seven of my words and adding the comment "Some might say..."

    No facts, no rebuttal or refutation.

    So I came back with more information (post 25).

    All good, right? Wrong! You then make the bald statement that not only have I "got the wrong end of the stick" but I have done it "so comprehensively that I can only conclude you have done so on purpose." (Post 31)

    Again, facts, no rebuttal or refutation. Just a flat rejection and a little ad hominem dig at the end, to barb the hook.

    But I rose to the fly! "Do go on. Care to refute me with facts?" (post 32)

    And yet it's me being "aggressive"? Umm OK.

    "you could argue Rolex was a marketing company that happens to make watches."

    Well, no, you couldn't. I went to some lengths to show you that they didn't make watches.

    "I would not be surprised to learn the headcount in their marketing department was significantly larger than employees tasked with watch manufacture."

    Any number is larger than zero.

    "But well done, in any case. You know things, and have to tell someone. You look very clever."

    Sigh.

    Some people (including me) have done a lot of research and most of it available online. Unless this is your first day on the internet you should learn to read before you write.
    Once again, YOU are choosing to take everything in absolutely the wrong way. I don't know why you're getting so worked up about it. I don't give a toss that Rolex didn't used to make watches. They do now. But what they do BEST is marketing. That is my point. And one that you seem intent on deliberately trying to miss again and again in the most aggressive way possible. I would ask why, but I don't care. Just calm down.

    I did a little fly fishing as a youngster many, many moons ago and liked it but not since, it is certainly preferable to "a good walk spoiled" for me. I would worry about the repeated casting and flicking having an impact on a non-shockprotected SmithS though, and the threat of water ingress on a SmithS diver! ;-))

    I did hear that female fly fisher(wo)men are often very successful and this has been attributed by some to keeping their beautifully made flies in the knicker drawer! Do trout like Persil I wonder or do the fairer sex who fly fish have a 'special' drawer?

    Not that I am trying to change the subject....

    Now that has made me laugh.

    Remind me of the old saying: the way to a fisherman's heart is through his flies.

    Now that, I think, we can all agree on.
