LordRasta Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 My current daily beater is a VC Overseas that does not have AR and I managed to strip all the screws. I have since ordered the newest VC with double AR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corgi Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 I wear a different watch every few days... only exception is when I buy a new one then I wear it constantly... but if the weather is bad I wear my two-tone submariner because it is the only one water proof Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dluddy Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 I don't have one daily beater, I rotate all my watches. Same here. Sometimes change twice a day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrgod Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 I am switching between a black Asian Steelfish on rubber and a couple of TAG Heuer chronos at the moment. The SOSF is the only one which I feel is safe to take out this rainy autumn... Even though the Carrera chrono also seems to be rather waterproof. No fog under the crystal even after a wet bicycle ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pugwash Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 I default to three basics: While I wear most of my watches on rotation, these are the ones I choose from if I'm in a hurry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baltic Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 I don't have a daily beater, I rotate through them all. Wearing the Fiddy as it's Friday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giorgio Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 Like most I try to rotate my watches, but I had been wearing my lv16610 quite a bit untill I got a (fantasy) Breitling Emergency for my nephew. I asked the seller to put it on a leather strap since the bracelet wouldn't size small enough for his wrist, but it's still too big so I kept it and got him a guitar. I liked the strap so much that I find myself wearing it 24/7 unless I'm going out (when the BCE, Super Avenger, Daytona or Carrera get their time out). The Sub is my exclusive swimming/ hot tub watch. P.S. This thread should probably have a lot more pictures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeff g Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 I used to rotate my watches. Although of course I had 3 or 4 favorites that got the lions share of wrist time. 6265, Omega GMT, 3717, etc. But that was then. Since purchasing the MBK PP Nautilus back in early August the automatic movement has NEVER stopped. Now that would have to be considered a 'Daily Beater'. I wear it every damn day. For me it is the perfect watch for all occassions. IMO the most beautiful SS sports watch ever. 42mm x 9mm - Black dial - correct minute marker dot pattern on dial - and without doubt the most comfortable SS bracelet on any watch I have ever worn. Beauty of course... is in the eye of the beholder. I be hold'n this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest watchbuff Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 Same here, I wear one for the day, rotate around but sometimes I favor one for a few days especially if it's new, back from repair or a new Franken creation. Like in a thread I posted, I might pick one that I am just "feeling like". IE. Had dinner with an old flame, wore the watch (Tissot T-touch) all day to get that back into that "mindset" I guess?

TeeJay Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 What I'm wearing determines the watch I'll put on. At present, my default watch is my 45mm Planet Ocean. Once I get my 111h back from having the movement cleaned, that will be getting the priority wrist time, and, depending on the answer from my dealer, as my fiance bought me a 127 for my birthday (which is being returned due to a faulty crown guard lever) that will become the watch I wear most (for my own sake ) and will either be another 127, or a PVD 111h Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kdirty Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 I wear my asian SFSO everyday to work. But as soon as i get home, the beater gets taken off and i wear one of my other good watches! The daily beater: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victoria Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 So far, my answer is closest to TMG's. Like almost everyone with a decent-sized rep watch collection, I don't have a daily beater. I change watches as many times as I take a shower and therefore clothes, so 3 times per day in the SoFla heat. Never less than twice per day. NEVER. But sometimes, I notice, when I just want to go out for a walk, and it's muggy or rainy outside, I reach for a watch which I call Old Faithful. No. Not a PAM. It's my Navigater Pumpkin PO, now settled unto its orange NATO strap (thanks to Chubbchubb's and TMG's tips on buying one). Comfortable, good-looking, fits perfectly AND you can see me coming a mile away -- important at night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
