Brian,
I think this is a poorly asked question in its current state. So before this digresses into a mess, what are you really asking?
Rolex makes many types of watches as do most other brands, all have different purposes and in many respects different types and levels of "ruggedness." So what model are you trying to compare and why?

To use the example above, Blancpain makes some very complex and only slightly shock and water resistant models along with the FF that's a Sub rival in nearly all respects in my view -- impossible to just note a brand.

Of course, since you never asked about staying with mech. models, the obvious toughness of quartz movement watches will populate the answer pool and I'm sensing that you already knew that piece of the answer.
