Not sure I agree on this one

Not the case with a Rolex, it is built to take the ugliest beatings."

I am not a watch movement expert by any stretch, however this has not been my experience with Omega Seamasters, co-axials or not. I played tennis, softball and played drums with my cal. 1120 on a few occasions without losing or gaining a second. I can't believe my Bond GMT with co-axial escapement would perform any less. I'm sure Rolex handles these types of activities very easily. I also think the Omega folks took into careful consideration when designing these sport watches, that they may take some "ugly beatings" from time to time. Just my humble opinion, of course.
