Daily watch. Why?

What is your daily watch? Why is he chosen? Why do you prefer it over others?

Mine is a humble 16234 of 1989. I prefer it for its comfort and its classic design

I don't have a daily. I rotate most of them.

i rotate through a bunch, but if I had to pick a daily, it'd be my BLNR.

pRetty simple. Works in every situation. Can be dressed up or down. Functional and beautiful.

My 16570's are my daily watches during the week. I use them for work since they get banged up from time to time and can definitely take the beating. I'll rotate my other watches on weekends though..

I'm diver guy. So many uses for the bezel in practical daily situations.

Plus this thing looks killer with any wardrobe IMO

I’m really happy with my collection as a whole, so I do try to rotate through and give each some wrist time. If I were being honest, though, the BLNR is the one that calls to me most often. I find it incredibly versatile and a downright joy to wear. It’s been with me in some important business meetings and it’s been snorkeling on the Great Barrier Reef. If I were to become a one watch guy, this is the most likely candidate to remain...

my current daily is 36 dj blue dial, fluted with jubilee.

why? It is classy, elegant, light and extremely comfortable to wear, symbol of Rolex, having all the functions I need, accurate and rock solid, matching almost any clothes, and finally, relatively inexpensive.

Mine is SD43 because it’s my only watch at the moment. Pretty nice one though ;)

Up untill a few months back it was my 16570 Explorer II, but sold it to buy a two tone Submariner that I've been using as a daily for the past week since I've bought it.
The Submariner is rather comfortable I must say! The only downside is that it distracts me a lot during the day when I catch myself staring at it :)

Recent model Explorer, because it is an item I do not have to baby like my vintage TT OPD. No more worries about my daily wearer getting knocked around from everyday "life".

I rotate several watches but if I'm going to be just beating around my go to watch is my Sub LV. Reason being? It was my first watch, looks great yet casual, and its got a few battle scars so I don't overthink the situation the way I would with some of my others.

Same here, though I only have a black one for daily use, though I also swap out with my Tag Heuer Carrera Calibre 7. Both can take a lickin' and keep on tickin'...

Am I allowed to say that? :D

I'm also a rotater but I'll get stuck on one for awhile as well. Lately it's been my Blnr of course being only two weeks old.

16520 because it was on my dads wrist everyday before he passed and I plan to continue where he left off.

My 16610 is on my wrist most of the time. To me it’s perfect. Looks great all the time and can take the beating I put it through. Did the lawn/leaves yesterday. No problem. Washed the cars today. Easy peasy. Going out to dinner later. Covered. Not much reason to ever take it off

116610 is a perfect daily. Durable, accurate, sharp looking and fits with my usual polo shirt and jeans perfectly. The glidelock ensures it will always fit no matter if it's hot or cold out.

Love this statement. It was for this reason I chose to start wearing my favorite everyday, rain or shine, hell or high water. I figured if I put some dings in it I would keep wearing it most often and not baby it like a Zenith Daytona... I used to wear a 1st year Luminox diver everyday to beat up and the nice stuff on the weekends. No longer. Life's too short.

Great pic too mate!
