A lot of science and technology is used in the design of Rolex watches. Rolex has its own internal Research and Development department and several extremely well-equipped professional science labs where they are testing more effective and efficient manufacturing techniques.. They have an intriguing room that they call the Stress Testing room in which the they put the watches through wear and tear simulators using custom machines and robots. Fair to say your Rolex will last a while. Anyone ever broken a Rolex?

your post reminded there was a guy here who dived professionally and had a DSSD which let him down consistently, which was a bit disappointing as he was one of the very small minority of us who uses his diving Rolex for the "tool" for which it was designed. I think Rolex ended up replacing it if I recall correctly.

Machines and robots are used to build Rolex's what? Their cases, their watches, their.....? You didn't finish your statement.

Edit: Nevermind. I think I see what happened now. You didn't intend possessive. Sorry....carry on.
Second Edit: Ha...SemperFi did it too. Why does everyone want to use an apostrophe for the plural of Rolex (Rolexes, properly)?

There are countless threads about Rolex's that have stopped working. It's a machine. A well designed and sophisticated machine to be sure but eventually repairs will be needed on most of them just like any other mechanical device.

yes i recall a very disappointing thread on here from a real compression diver (ie not one of those DSSD types who ask if ok to wear it in the shower) whose DSSD malfunctioned while his colleagues' seikos didn't miss a beat

I've broken a few due to violent bangs.

crowncollection · 26 July 2016, 07:25 AM

yes at least 3 over the years and all my fault

anything mechanical will eventually fail , its all about how you prepare for that.
then how you deal with events following that too.
