Both are very durable. The quartz version is probably the better bet if you are rough and particularly active. But you would be best off to NOT wear your nice watch while doing particularly rough activities. Get a cheap Casio to wear those times.

It is a bad idea to try to alter a watch in that way. It costs money, may be hard to get done (Omega will not do it), voids your warranty, AND dramatically reduces the value of the watch. You are much better off buying a model closer to what you want!

The skeleton hands are pretty easy to read in the dark. But if they bother you, you might want to buy the Seamaster GMT instead or wait until early next year when the new models come out. There should be more options to choose from then that use the new dial and hands style.
