Daily watch. Why?




This is my daily. I have a 5 digit sub but I don’t like the bracelet and I feel like it wears a little small. This watch is perfect for the business I do. ( I own my own business so I am 36 and semi retired) It goes with anything I wear mostly casual but my watch shows others I am successful and they take my words more seriously. I like the diamond dial because i don’t think a non sport watch needs lume and I love the way the dial looks. I feel with the Batons it crams the dial. Never was a fan of diamonds on a men’s watch. Was always a JLC man. But I feel Rolex is one of the few watches that can look good in a diamond dial. I also used to wear only black face watches. But I feel the rhodium gives the watch a fresh look. I love the way it wears and the PCLs are not a big issue. Tow words Cape Cod. The fluted bezel really hides scratches well. My watch wears more then what it is. And I like that. Let’s be honest. It’s nice to get credit for the hard work we put in to be able to buy a nice watch. It has just enough bling on it but at the same time the rhodium dial tones it down even with the diamonds. Perfect daily wear or perfect only watch.

Any watch can act like a daily to me, but it has to be comfortable for it to stay on my wrist more than a day.

Dont really have a clear standout. One of these ends up on the wrist. Never seemed to where the same watch more than one or two days in a row unless traveling. Confusing right?? I feel lucky to have such a great collection and have so many choices.

I wear a Breitling Transocean Day/Date on a mesh bracelet. Just some days I cannot remember the day, let alone the date and time.

While I rotate through a small collection... my 116613LB is my main watch... I Love It! I can wear it with anything! It feels great on my wrist.

I just had a great conversation with a gentleman whose daily wearer is red letter sub, that he purchased for $175 in 1970... it was a BEAUTIFUL watch!!!

This one because it’s just stunning! Never was a massive Daytona fan until seeing the black and white version in the flesh. Now I just can’t stop staring at it.

I rotate through my watches and think the BLNR is the most versatile and useful for my needs. The OF makes it so comfortable and you don't have to worry it.

BLNR. I think it’s the most beautiful watch on the market today. I love GMTs. It’s highly durable. And it’s a perfect fit on my wrist.

Perfect daily for me. Not too chubby and heavy so I can wear with shorts and Zulu strap or flip over to bracelet and suit. Already beaten up so I'm not worried about additional scratches. I do like date function so there's that. And it flies under the radar for the most part for looking old... not brilliant and shiny like the new ceramic models.

I used to wear my old Sub daily, but since a got the AP Jumbo, it became my daily watch.
What can I say about it, it is really comfortable, much superior to Rolex indeed.
Sorry to disappoint the Rolex lovers, but AP plays in another category.

Up north it is my Platona or Day-Date. In Florida it is my YG Sub that is usually kept there.

I don't have one as such. All my watches get worn in rotation and I don't necessarily wear a watch every day. I buy them to wear them and no watch gets preference, unless I'm travelling. Right now I'm on the road for three weeks, dealing with clients in two time zones. So my Polar is travelling with me. It will be my daily until the end of the month.

One of these.



Sub is with Rik so it’s between the CWC and MKII at the moment.

The Tudor GMT has become my daily wearer. It’s a looker, wears reasonably well given its size, can take a beating, is great for travel and then there are the intangibles. For some reason I just gravitate to it over my sub and speedy.
