Royal Oak resiliency vs other sports watches?
So this is not something that is an immediate issue for me but I do curate a list of watches that I intend to buy and re-order them as my tastes change, while trying to keep a list that in the end will give me a little of everything.As my tastes have changed over the past few years I have gotten more and more into finishing and movements leading the likes of JLC, ALS and Patek onto my list.However I do want to have at least one very basic sports watch that I can be less concerned about bumping or scratching, something that I could wear in the rain or even swim with, without worry (things I would never attempt with a complicated or ultra thin dress watch). I know that the Royal Oak isn't a super dive watch like a Sea-Dweller or Submariner, but is it a watch that could fulfill what I am looking for?

Yesterday I finally got the call from Wynn Las Vegas that my 16710 was back from Rolex Service Center (Dallas). Turnaround time was six weeks and $872, including shipping. I gave them instructions not to touch the case or bracelet but did have Luis (the watchmaker) do a light polish on the band just to bring back a little shine. Instruction were followed perfectly and I am completely happy with the result. Just an FYI, all the people there are amazing, but if you're in town and want to talk watches ask for Luis the watchmaker, he is so cool and down to earth, you can tell he loves watches and loves to talk shop. Big thumbs up!! As I have stated before I purchased the watch new in December of 1999, I was 26 years old and even though I paid $3500 for the watch I was probably a little out of my league. But I worked hard and saved harder and got the watch of my dreams. Since then I have bought and sold a SS Daytona, TT Datejust II, IWC Pilot Chrono, and an LVc in the search for the right
