Your Rolex might be the true "sports" watch...

Rolex Watch.
Monobloc case. Check (AP Royal Oak and Patek Philippe Nautilus have 2-3 part cases)
Screw down crown (Royal Oak doesn't have this, but most Nautilus models do). Check.
No exposed rubber gaskets (improved water resistance). Check. Nautilus and Royal Oak models have exposed rubber gasket.
Twin lock crown. Rolex only.
100 meters water resistance or higher. Rolex, check. Nautilus models range from 30m to 120m. Most modern Nautiluses are 120m except the 5712. Royal Oak models are generally 30m to 60m. Not for real swimming.
I guess people like their sporty looking watches. Even though I wouldn't really do anything very sporty in a Nautilus nor a Royal Oak. Makes me think I should get a Rolex!
