For instance my breitling superocean could theoretically be used as do all tool watch but if I destroy a $3000 watch I would be upset. My marathon GSAR is more akin to what rolexs history. The ceramic bezels only add to this overall issue that would make me not want to take one into harms way. For instance I'm considering a gmt master, I would not wear one at work where by I could be wrestling with some crackhead on the concrete. Now my GSAR has seen plenty of action and that's what it's for... Abuse! When I finally am able to purchase my rolex it will be worn with pride in jeans or a suit, and I'll admire it beauty And reflect on its history without scratching it too much.

Just sue the crackhead
