sorry maybe a little ot, but i dont think this is necessarily true. there are invictas and deep blues that boast 1000m or more water resistant but i doubt theyre anymore durable or well built than a run of the mill 100mm japanese or swiss watch. also for durability id look at something with attention to shockproof, treated metals and anti-magnetic ratings which unfortunately most reps don't have . not that they're not well built.
also, while it's not 2012 a 1:1 Tudor Black Bay super rep is in the works, scheduled for early next year. possibly a Pelagos after.
