The movements and cases may not be very nicely finished, but Rolex Oysters are tough and durable. I always wear an old GMT Master when I know a trip is going to be rough, as it seems to tolerate alot of banging around without a problem." I'll second that. My Explorer was my only watch for over 35 years. I've worn it every day, often in the mountains, in the desert or by the sea. Aside from replacing the crystal every 10 years or so, the bracelet after 25 years, the Explorer has needed only routine maintenance (lube, oil change, seals).
