How hardwearing is a new Rolex, can you wear it all the time?

[PresenceUK]

Hi all I am new to Rolex (only having an old wind up Oysterdate which is still my best watch).

I want to buy a Rolex to wear all the time at work and for best.

Looks wise ideally I would like a solid gold one with a leather strap for a really classic look but I am presuming that gold will get scratched up and will aslo cost a fortune so as a result I was thinking of getting a stainless datejust with a blue dial as I would presume the stainless ones are more hardwearing and wont get scratched like the gold models with gold being softer and also as its most expensive.

Can anyone tell me how hardwearing they are, I do office work mostly but often bang my current watch carrying boxes through doors or doing DIY etc and I sleep in my watch.

I had a £100 auto pulsar and it got scratched so badly on the face (when I was a mechanic) that you could hardly read it, then I had a £200 seiko titanium kinetic with a sapphire crystal glass... I wore that for over two years and it still looked and looks brand new, not a scratch or mark on it and the glass was /is perfect still so I gave it to my brother as he loved it and I bought a blue dial titanium £100 skagen till I get a Rolex...

My now skagen has three small scraches on the face.. this is what makes me wonder how hardwearing a new Rolex (or nearly new) would be...my seiko worn by my brother STILL looks like a new watch and its had lots of hammer now...

I want a self winder and waterproof, can anyone give me any advice please?

As I say I would buy a used gold body one with a leather strap but I want to wear it all the time.

Thanks everso for reading.
