Advice from 25860ST owners

Hi, it would be great to hear from any owners' experiences of the 25860ST regarding durability. This would be my first AP.

I am right handed and also wear my watch on the right wrist so it gets some knocks. Whilst I am not so concerned with scratches as these become part of the watch's history, I would be happy to hear about the inner workings standing up to all round wear.

As a bench mark for comps I rotate between "sport" watches from Rolex, IWC and Patek.

Thank you in advance

The ROC is a great watch although the Rolex (4130) and IWC (the ETA movements) are probably more robust. Still should not detract from everyday wearability. IMHO, the ROC is prettier than the others.

Here is mine almost 1 year old and my beater AP, As you can see it still looks very good consider how much wrist time it gets.
