So we had 20 people in our normal golf group today. Unusually large turnout, but the temperature was almost ninety.

When we got down and went inside to settle all the bets I could not help but notice all the watches. We had 8 rolex watches out of 20 people.

The list follows:

2 Sub Date 16610 (including mine)
1 Yachtmaster SS and Platinum
3 Various Datejust (one on a jubilee and two on oysters)
2 Sub Date "Bluessy"

Had a great day on the course (shot even par andwon $100) and then was in good company in the bar. On top of all this we had great weather and I got to see an incredible collection of watches.

No real point to the post just had to share the experience.

Sounds like a fun day

Where are the pics

I enjoy taking pictures of watches in the wild but I think 20 guys who just got off the golf course would not have much sympathy for me wanting to take snapshots of their watches. Maybe I will try next time.

I golfed also today at a golf networking event. A player in my foursome had a 16613 (TT blue Sub) and I wore my Explorer 1. I also saw several Sub Dates and a few DJ's. I shot 12 over par, which is good for me.

Matt, sounds like you had a good time and money to boot!!!

Yeah I had a great time. I have learned just to have fun playing golf, I used to be so competitive. Now it means a time to relax and be glad I am not at the office.

What could be better than a day on the links, 100 bucks in the pocket, and the spotting of multiple Rolexes!

The thing about it is I am not a big gambler at all. The game we play you put $20 dollars in the pot. Winning team take all and the pay all the skins as well. The most you can lose it $20 thats what makes it nice.

So any mentionables among the other 12??

wanasub · 26 April 2009, 12:29 PM

Seems we're missing the crux of the story...you shot PAR?? Congratulations!

Well done!

As an avid golfer who lives to play, I could care less what the other guys watches are,
especially if I shot even par.
I'd be buying everyone a round of drinks with that $100 and would get a picture of me smiling with the scorecard for future spiritual uplifting.
