Aside from my gshock which is the true beater all my ss watches are semis I guess. I’m only particularly careful with gold watches.

For the few cases that I don't feel comfortable putting the SD at risk: The Casio Frogman

“Beater “ watches

rockmastermike · 29 June 2020, 11:30 PM

EXP2 has become my workhorse/semi beater....of course for hard core chores it's G-shock

A watch that can join me on activities there I normaly would leave the other watches at home, but still not G-schock activities.

Do you see the point in this or is it a bad idea?

The only beater I know is in picture below but not a semi beater as I use it almost daily as a full time beater.

Chester01 · 30 June 2020, 12:10 AM

My “beater” is my 16610. It’s what it was designed for.

Hollie_Rollie · 30 June 2020, 12:17 AM

Not my pic and I don’t own one yet but this would be my beater

nosignalbmwdriver · 30 June 2020, 12:26 AM

That's the play

I added this one last year thinking it would be a daily wearer I could wear at those times when I dont want to think about what's on my wrist....

Problem is I enjoy wearing it all the time now, that I'm having to re-think why I have all these expensive watches

I've never thought of it that way but since I've bought my SMP it's become my travel watch and a perfect everyday piece. I'm liking it more than my Rolex Subs lately.

Speedy pro fills this spot perfectly for me

brucethemanlee · 30 June 2020, 03:36 AM

My BLNR and SD4K are my semi-beaters

Token74 · 30 June 2020, 03:45 AM

I used to use my Sea Dweller for this, but I now also use my gold Daytona and BLRO for it. Ultimately, they will all get dinged and scratched over the years, so might as well just get on with it! And for anything really bad, they’re all insured.

I tend to not treat my AP’s or Patek so badly!

What insurance do you have and what do they cover?

You are very fortunate. Its a beautiful watch and perhaps very underrated especially amongst the rolex crowd. It has also risen quite a bit in value compared to how much they cost back in the 90s and around the turn of the century.

PAM 111 for weekend banging around.

True beater is a 20 year old Timex Ironman

samson66 · 30 June 2020, 05:01 AM

Doubles as my traveler/semi-beater watch

Xenon · 30 June 2020, 05:03 AM

Every Rolex should be treated like a Seiko. That is how you know you can afford it.

Napoleon · 30 June 2020, 05:24 AM

Just remember, your beater is someone else's grail

Stripiest · 30 June 2020, 05:43 AM

My semi beater is my Hamilton Flight Timer. I doubt very much whether it is someone's grail, especially with its lurid orange strap ...

Mick006 · 30 June 2020, 06:47 AM

I use my Tudor GMT as a travel watch/semi beater.

I have a Hamilton khaki field for a true beater.
