Roberge (and IWC and Rolex).
I used to own a Vacheron Overseas (old model), and it really was quite perfect for the luxury sports watch role. However, I could never get the bracelet to be a comfortable length. (It wasn't forgiving. Some bracelets feel okay if they're a millimeter or two off; that bracelet did not.) Also, while it was really quite robust and gave me no trouble when I subjected it to such indignities as swimming and softball, it had too much of a tendency to become magnetized.
Roberge is an obscure brand associated with a jeweler. As such, many of its watches are the quartz-with-diamonds variety. However, when they decide to make a good watch they are quite capable of it, and their case and design work is excellent. I have a 1000-meter diver (COSC certified) that is quite robust and probably my most luxurious true sports watch. Other candidates for the role within my collection are various IWCs and Rolexes.

Appreciate it, Art
Speaking of GO, some of their watches were definitely in the frame for me as my hybrid daily wearer choice, but the one that I liked the best from a visual appearance perspective (the Sport Evlution Impact) was just too big for me. Navigator Perpetual Cal...
Thanks, Tony
The fact that you don't see a dial like this very often is a significant part of the appeal for me. Thanks for the kind words. Best, Gary
Sports with a sports watch
Thanks for this post, I have een looking for a luxury sports watch for quite a while now and I can not seem to make up my mind (the AP RO was one of my first choices though). Also because a number od ADs actually told me that actually none of these high e...

Being of an age...
...where any 'sport' involves a comfortable chair and a remote control, it is possible to have quite a broad range of luxury 'sport' watches in SS from which to choose favourites. A nostalgic favourite, picked for its 'retro' classicism, is this one - Of ...
If I want to look sporty,
I am taking either my Patek Nautilus, AP Royal Oak, VC Overseas, Breguet Marine or BB Aqualung. All of them have their merits. But if real sport, in my case diving, is in the program, I am choosing one of many Rolex Submariners - those are very hard to be...
Couldn't agree more about the GP
I think that the simplest choice is the Rolex, but then there is the Blancpain FF, my Panerai or my Polaris. There are a fair amount of sport watches out there to wear. I don't think that the question was which one do you perfer? Because that would be a d...
I like what Richard Mille is doing, as well as Seiko's Spacewalk....
remarkable precision instruments.....
Historically, the PP Nautlius and the AP Royal Oak, for sure...
Nowadays, I'd say that the offer is wider ... VC Overseas, GP Seahawk Tourbillon, JLC Amvox III, EL I or II, PP Nautilus Chrono, AP ROO, IWC Big Pilot PC, Panerai Tourbillon, Rolex Yacht Master II etc... MY Luxury " sport watch " would be, in the Vintage ...
As always
Excellent taste Nicholas I wish I could get an A series royal oak but I dont know where to find one regards Marwan
IWC Ingenieur...
Not only do I appreciate it's masculine, Genta-inspired looks, stellar bracelet and intricately detailed dial, but I also appreciate that it's tough enough to be worn as a true sports watch should be, yet not so expensive that you'd be afraid to do so. To...
