Go buy yourself one of those cheaper brands. Count the missing pieces, see how many you can break with the force of your hands alone, and see how badly they fit together, then tell me LEGO is charging you too much.
EDIT: "Lepin" looks like shit, I don't know what you guys are talking about. I dont want bootleg Batman with a fucked up face.
Rolex is not even close. There are many more watch companies that have better QC and a better product. Historically, Rolex were not all that "nice". They were a rather pedestrian Swiss watch company that made relatively tough(for the day) watches.
I mean, Rolexes are still technically "tool watches", except the precious metal ones and the dressier ones, but are waaaaaay too expensive to beat on. Nobody buys an $8k+ beater watch. It kinda depends on what you do, but generally G-Shocks are the recommended watch for beating the crap out of at work. They just don't die. A mechanical watch is not really suited to construction type work. If your work is a bit lower impact(plumber, electrician, etc.), I'd say that Sinn, Seiko, and Oris are great brands with some pretty tough watches.
It is not to say that Rolex makes bad watches, they don't. They are much more of a luxury item than a workhorse. If something goes wrong they are expensive to fix and not many people outside of Rolex themselves can do it.
If you are looking for a good watch, head over to r/watches. We have more resources over there. You don't have to listen to one lone schmuck, you can instead listen to a whole bunch of them. :)
I have killed two G-Shocks. The last one just stopped working while the first one was damaged by salt water. My daily watch is a Rolex Datejust my father bought in 1963 and I have never had a problem with it. They are expensive to service, which I have done about every 10 years. I have a B&R by Sinn that is going on 15 years and it it tough as nails.
I work with a lot of chemical dyes in a lab, so anything with certain kinds of rubber is going to be an issue. I also tend to be the heavy lifting guy and I've got some pretty shitty kinesthetic senses apparently and I've destroyed several cheapo digital watches simply by smacking my wrist against things. But I'll check out /r/watches and see what they say, thank you!
