JoJo35 Posted May 16, 2010 Report Share Posted May 16, 2010 It's been laying around a while. I figured I might as well wind it up and wear it today. Any other "beaters" out there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking good, my friend, I'm sure it'll be on your wrist for a while to come Here's my usual beater Someone asked me Saturday what I thought was 'the best everyday watch', and even with all the awesome watches and various brands which are displayed and discussed here, I had to say that for a watch with all-round versatility, functional in most situations yet still wearable when relaxing, I could only say the Rolex Submariner Probably the most copied watch out there, but I guess it's copied for a reason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted May 16, 2010 Report Share Posted May 16, 2010 I'm wearing this watch today, but it's not my 'beater' I consider this 16800 my 'beater'. It has a later tritium dial and hands which still glow very well- I figure they are '98-99 replacements But if things are going to get really ugly, I love to fall back on my franken 'beater' I'd much rather tear it up than one of my gens!

JoJo35 Posted May 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2010 Love the close-up of the date window. Thanks B! PS: the bezel on this one is (was) NOS gen PPS: You'd better have a closer look at that bezel B. I just compare the photographs, and there is a definite difference between your bezel and mine.

HauteHippie Posted May 17, 2010 Report Share Posted May 17, 2010 That's a handsome beater there, JoJo!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeJay Posted May 17, 2010 Report Share Posted May 17, 2010 Couldn't have said it better myself. Thanks TJ! Anytime While I would be the first to admit that the Sub is hardly the best suited watch for every situation/scenario, it is probably the best 'all rounder' I can think of and can fulfill many roles with ease Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
