i agree

i dont think the perpetual is any more delicate than the annual calendar. if you are doing such a strenuous and intense activity that a perpetual calendar's movement is damaged, I would be confident that the annual calendar's movement would be damaged too. i would get the perpetual calendar (since that is what you appear to want) and be cognizant of the situations in which you wear the watch. these watches are very well made but are still relatively fragile, regardless if the watch has 2 hands or 10 hands.

calendar daily as long as you're not chopping trees down or doing wild and crazy things... shooting guns and riding motorcycles come to mind. I have a w/g Daytona which I wear harder than I do my PP. I suspect I feel more assured of the robustness of the ...

The 5036

makes for a great daily wearing watch, I think it fits all of your needs except the showering. All though I'm sure it will stand up to the water, I think the soap is the bad part. As for investing , you have to go much further up the food chain or get ext...
