Which Rolex for a "daily beater"? None of them. I don't beat my watches.

My daily beater used to be my red 1680 but it’s getting too valuable to wear as a beater, so my newly bought 1625 TOG on slate sigma dial will be my beater as soon as my watch smith changes hands and makes it waterproof...

Tough call, but the 114060 would be my one and only.

I wouldn't have a Rolex as a beater but if I could only have on watch it would be either a white dial Oyster Perpetual 39mm or a white dial Daytona ceramic. If I could only have one Rolex it would be a 114060.

It’s hard to chose because none of them have all the features I want in a collection of watches. I guess if I had to chose just one for the rest of my life it would be one I don’t own currently. If it looked good on my wrist a black dial 216570. Very legible with a very legible GMT feature and as I get older I’ll need that legibility.

If not a Rolex there is a Breitling Chronomat B04 GMT that has it all; dive bezel, 500m depth rating, chronograph, GMT hand and a date. Although at 47 mm it’s probably too big for me. I guess I’ll stick to the Midnight Explorer II

If I could only own one - it would be the one I bought first - a 36 mm, DJ, Jubilee, Fluted. It has been perfect over the last 25 years as a daily wear watch. I now have more - so it sits for days in the winder - but I still really like the watch.

This one. Purchased it specifically to be a daily wearer, and I should say it has been serving it's role extremely well!

This ones really comfortable. I’d probably keep it or something else fairly simple. Maybe one of these. Nothing too fancy.
