Ever seen the old Rolex ad with Red Adair fighting oil fires with a Day-Date?

Everyday living but not from normal "everyday" people. The percentage of people in the world who can afford a Rolex is tiny. And of that percentage most of their "everyday living" lifestyle is not even close to the physical work portrayed in the OP.

As far as everything else, yes rolexes are tough watches and within the class of watch probably the toughest, but don't be too fooled by genius marketing.
