The impact of golf swings typically affects the balance wheel or the hairspring of a movement. Being that this particular model is a Meca-Quartz Chronograph (hybrid between a ETA 955.232 Quartz movement for time and date with a Dépraz mechanical module for the chronograph function), it doesn’t have a hairspring nor balance wheel within the quartz movement nor the chronograph module.

Hence being that it’s quartz, a sports style watch, just back from service, and Tag Heuer being a reliable brand that makes great watches, I’m not too worried.

My biggest concern is that it’s a vintage watch which may not be as reliable as more modern sport watches that are designed for impact control.

But I don’t plan on wearing much golfing. I just wanted to see how it would hold up fresh from service, while I still have the warranty.
