I always counter that everything I buy I do so to enjoy, and that specifically in the case of my watches there's nothing I do that Rolex haven't stress tested them for to a greater degree than I ever could.
Love this.

My 911 was made for driving.

Watches are made for wearing.
...Oh, and a little bit of time keeping.

Great to see an Exp2 in its natural habitat... in the great outdoors while nicely doing its job on your wrist. There is now balance in the universe.

Hope the picture attaches this time.
That is what it is for. She is mistaken. Show her this post.

I don't understand why anyone would spend so much money on something they refuse to use for its intended purpose.

The Explorer was designed to withstand harsh conditions, to a point obviously. Working outside is the point of this watch; or climbing; or camping; or spelunking; or... whatever. Mine survived being run over by a truck without missing a beat.

Wear them. Use them. That's what they're for!

I think you uploaded the wrong photo, all I see is your EXPII, where is this "Fragile Watch"?

It's actually a 'pussy' of a watch. All it survived was me being hit by a car while riding my bike; the watch being ripped from my arm as I went over a guard rail; bouncing on the pavement; to at last being run over by a truck... without skipping a beat.

Any $10 Timex could do as well.
