Does anyone use their Royal Oak as a daily watch?
Work, dinners, cinema, theatre... but also mountain, trekking, beach, swimming pool ....

It’s more like “abuse” daily in your case , even my older 6 year old royal oak at most has a couple of minor scratches.

Minimalist · 26 February 2021, 03:38 AM

When I first got mine, yes I was wearing it daily and that's why I managed to get a ding on the bezel, some light scratching on the bracelet as you would but nothing as bad as your pic.. Shortly after I added another acquisition and so it took some rest and the cycle continues!

i do! i’ve worn it almost every day since the day i got it almost three years ago! only times i haven’t worn it was last year when i had to send it for service cause it was misbehaving for some reason.

i’ve got a few scratches on the bracelet but not nearly as noticeable as yours!

Sleepy996 · 26 February 2021, 06:34 AM

42mm offshore is the daily but not brave enough to daily my roc.

sokoloka · 26 February 2021, 06:36 AM

Absolutely. Most wrist time easily goes to my 15407 or 15500or.

Burlington · 26 February 2021, 09:32 AM

Not an RO, but ROO

Either is just fine as a daily wearer

supernova · 26 February 2021, 09:40 AM

I wear mine daily for 1-2 months at a time and then rotate out and cycle.

No issues as a daily although I do tend to have more wrist awareness wearing compared to wearing my Rolex.

Have it 6 months and only a couple faint scratches but I’m not too worried about them or future ones. Wear to enjoy!

When I had my 25860 it looked like yours. Now my 5167/1A looks like that. I rotate between that and a 25960 so I am a little more careful with the gold and often wear it on a rubber strap.

The first big scratch is the one that hurts most

KonoTime · 27 February 2021, 12:26 AM

15202 nice

spryken · 27 February 2021, 12:31 AM

Been wearing for 2 weeks since the first pick up . Some hairlines scratches .. and a very mild knock on the ROC bezel.

Maybe considering to get a Divers to rotate around .

Anyway.. it’s your watch and you get to enjoy the wrist time to the max as a reward of what you earn it.

Great day

Nice work, how does the bezel look like?

I dailied my 15400 in rotation over the last 5 years but it has faired well, only very minor skuffs. With mine Im not worried about scratches but rater how "rattly" the bracelet has become, that stiff bracelet feel is long gone.

Token74 · 27 February 2021, 03:23 AM

Yep. I use all my watches as ‘dally’ watches. Including the Royal Oaks and the Nautilus.

I used to wear my RO daily when I first got it but since the C19 lockdown I haven't been wearing as much. I generally don't wear a watch when I go exercising so my RO was just a daily office watch. If I'm going to hangout at a pool, I usually wear my Omega Seamaster.

What activities do you do with the RO?

Wow...! That watch has been enjoyed

joshsx22 · 28 February 2021, 05:38 PM

Used 15400 as a daily for 7 years. Sharing time now with the Octo Finissimo steel for that role.

There are some scratches from careful wear. Wear it anytime, anywhere...

Vivalas · 28 February 2021, 06:50 PM

Worn how it should be - too many watches kept in safes lately.

By "daily", are you saying every day, only watch? Two hours a day "daily"? If all day every day I can see how it would show a fair amount of wear.

A lot of guys in here saying they "daily" their APs but in some form of rotation with other watches. If that is the case I imagine combing the wear on multiple watches for lots of guys gets you close to your pic :)

I thought more people would wear their Royal Oaks on a daily basis.
