5146P as a Daily Wearer?
Just wondering how the 5146P would hold up, as a "daily wearer"? How does the platinum surface hold up? Is there really a difference in wear-and-tear of the mechanics wearing it daily vs. letting it sit (and run down), and adjusting it each time I want to wear it? or putting it on a winder? Feedback sought. Thank you.

5146 as a daily wearer will do just fine for normal use.....
If strap is worn out or old just change them, that the only thing you need to do..... Watch winder is a waste of money for me.... I just sets the watch each time I want to wear it..... Plus it have a power reserve meter, that if the power reserve is low you could always manual wind it......

I think it will be fine as a daily wearer...and you won’t need a winder since it will be almost always on your wrist. Sounds like a perfect watch to pass down as well after many years of wear

I think it is a great daily wearer. It doesn't get scratched up, is light, thin, and very comfortable. I drastically cut back on my 5711, which I now probably wear 1-2 evenings a week. I love it but it is a scratch magnet. My rolex sub is my weekend day beater.
Also, I used to use winders but have stopped. Having watches run down gives me an excuse to wind and set them, which I enjoy. I try to manually wind the 5146p since it takes some time to set when it stops but I do like doing it occasionally. You will find many views on which is better for the watch but I don't think it matters much based on discussions I have had with techs at Patek ADs.
