I don't question the highly reliable movement of a Rolex and not having to worry if the watch gets knocked.

All that said, I recently handled a couple of IWC's. Namely the Portugueser 5001 and the new vintage Port. The attention to detail on the dial and case is just top notch. Something not found on a Rolex.

IMO, Rolex comes the closest to being a lifestyle watch; a watch that can be worn in any occasion; from the beach to a formal affair.

Totally agree with you......+1000
