Do you wear a “hot model” as your daily beater?

Weekdays on the left; weekends on the right.

I wear all my watches in rotation. If I'm doing something where a watch is likely to be damaged, I don't wear a watch. I never have.

Pretty much I wear this one. Which category should it go under? It's carefully worn and not beaten!!

I typically wear what I want, when I want. I have a large collection and one PM Rolex watch. Lately though I have been hot on my Tudors and Seiko's.

Define “hot”. I wear all my watches equally and most are PM.

Any Rolex can be a daily wearer. No nice mechanical watch should be a "beater" such that it is worn while doing labor with heavy tools, vibrating machinery or while engaged in rugged sports.

My beater time is limited only to approx 1h per day at the gym. For that I wear a casio gshock or skx both on a nato for wrist expansion issues. All other times I rotate by collection below.

my daily is a 14060 4 liner rotated with a G-Shock if it's really going to get "beaten"

PM daily. G-Shock whenever that isn't appropriate for the conditions.

Had recently been carefully wearing my daytona as a daily while my GMT was out for service.

I've more or less retired it now to preserve the condition as I plan to sell to 'upgrade' to an AP chrono which is not much of a stretch given resale of the ceramic daytonas these days.
