That's my vote, followed by the 14060m.

I'd say the Explorer 1, low profile and tough.

SD 16600. Best watch I ever owned.

Why would anyone throw their watches from 18 storeys...?

G shocks tick...?

Trurolexer · 24 September 2008, 01:05 AM

Expy 1 of course.

I agree.
But SD is pretty much head to head or close behind.

So the consensus seems to be generally 1) DSDD, 2) Explorer/SD and ofcourse the GSHOCK (the 18th floor model) tops the list :-)

Hold on a minute. I haven't thrown my Cellini out the window yet!

Because CASIO advertized a 10-story drop test they performed so I tried to repeat it from much higher up. It was curiosity factor also .... so what if I lost $50 ... worth a try!!

Next test might be a drive over test .... just drive your car over 2 times and then back it up over two times ...

Exp II has lasted almost three years constant wear.
Tough?
Reliable?
Looked after, YES

Which one in your opinion is ? It obviously has to be a SS model I guess, Thanks.

Explorer II - brushed case and links, SEL, fixed bezel. And even if it takes a beating the fresh snow white dial still stands out...IMHO.

I had a Sub-Date that my daughter dropped onto a marble tiled floor, shattering the sapphire crystal, which surprised me greatly. My 16600 SD is essentially bullet proof, but the new DSSD will, without a doubt, be the most rugged Rolex ever built, having held one recently. I am certain you could drive over it with your car and it would still work.
