President vs. Daytona in 18k

[Rolexlover123]

I know that is the popular logic to have a "beater" and then a grail watch that you baby, but shouldn't the more expensive watch be the everyday watch instead? I mean, don't you want to maximize wrist time with the watch you spent the most money on? What are the benefits of "saving" the more expensive watch for special occasions, only to give all the wrist time to the "beater"?
