Breeder/Beater combo 5513/SKX013
Just wanted to post a photo of my breeder/beater combo
I love my grandfathers > fathers > my 1967 5513 dearly, but my SKX013 gets worn more often outside the office and honestly I love it just as much in a different way. I can't think of a better value for the money watch than the SKX. |

That’s a great combo, and I agree that the “beater” watch can take on a great deal of meaning. For me, though I try for a combo that looks much different. For me now, it’s my seiko Arnie and sub/speedy.

Great combination. My Seiko's get more than the share of wrist time.

My sub just got the jubilee which makes it closer to the SKX, but I don't mind. I also have this 1967 Helbros Skin Diver which is on a calfskin strap that i throw into the lineup. |

Nice. Having the jubilee for the sub adds to the versatility. I have a seiko arnie, 16610, speedy pro, and a hamilton khaki in rotation. While my sub and speedy also look similar, the strap options really change it up. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

It’s about the same lug to lug as my sub. I don’t think I can really pull it off, but watching that movie really started my interest in watches. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

My SKX Pepsi is my daily beater. My no date sub also a favorite. Jubilee on a sub is hot.
The planet ocean bezel on the SKX is also a hot look |
