The same reason you don't take your vintage Shelby out racing..

Since the modern Rolex watches have been so massed produced, I have a feeling that many will not be so risk adverse 20-30 years from now with their current modern watches. I base this feeling on the fact many believe that the modern Rolex will more than likely not be very collectible. All the more reason to enjoy wearing it and not baby it.
