Holy Trinity Sports Watches: Most durable/serviceable?

I keep getting this itch to own a watch from the HT. I've been raising funds recently to try to achieve this. I'm the type of guy that likes to wear my watches frequently and often in most any situation. So I've kind of decided against a dress watch as due to my lifestyle and profession that wouldn't get much wear.

So essentially I'm looking at AP RO, VC Overseas, and PP Aquanaut. The Nautilus might be the more direct comparison, but it's another notch up in price and I actually prefer the overall design of the Aquanaut anyways.

Among these 3, is there one that would be more durable and serviceable over long-term ownership? I am not necessarily talking about service costs, I understand these will be high for any of them. But I guess more along the lines of maybe being able to find a skilled watchmaker that would be able to service them without necessarily having to send them back to the manufacturer each time.

As for durability, my daily wearer is a Rolex Sub 16610. I don't abuse it by any means, but I also don't baby it. I'm an office worker so pretty easy on my watches, but it takes its share of desk diving, accidental knocks, taking it into the shower, even survived 1-2 accidental drops over the years. I'm hoping one of the above 3 models can be worn in similar fashion without too much ill effect.

If ultimately those HT watches are ones that should be worn more carefully and babied, I understand and totally respect that. There are other Rolexes I could look into getting instead.
