Well here I go...

I think unless you're trying to deflect bullets off it, the recoil shouldn't be a problem, unless you're lefty, then the repated shock from the handgun will probably loosen a spring or something (I have a crappy old Rolex Sea Dweller [that's about twenty-five years old] than I got from my dad). I remember one time I was out with him in the desert with a couple securty guards that work at Kingston (the place where he works; [he's not a guard]), I fired off a couple billion (am I sensing sarcasam??) rounds, and some or other spring popped out of place, and I had the watch serviced about a week before, so I wouldn't recommend it, but if you wanna try with an automatic, be my guest; my advice would be the same as Ron's, you wanna shoot a gun with a watch on, wear a quartz (that's what I'm doing from now on and keeping my old battle torn fossil of a Rolex at home...).
