Mean, gorgeous, tough, watches that can rock it.

Which is THE ultimate everyday beater ?


I myself think the Milgauss leads the pack on this one.

[sco]

This one's easy... Casio G Shock

[Justinmg]

Sub ND two liner

[landroverking]

Sd.

[KeithP]

Toss up for me between between 42mm Explorer II and Sea-Dweller 4K, depending on function preferences. But I LOVE your Milgauss choice

[Daytona88]

I'd go with the SD4K.

[Snow-Dweller]

216570

[KrismanX]

Explorer II! No fancy bezels to get smashed, no cyclops, and some hefty crown guards. Literally made to eplore the world with.

I consider nearly every Rolex watch to be a heavy duty watch that can take a beating, and I'd wear any of them in just about all conditions (outside of something like a diamond encrusted President.)

[Gotgolf52]

Sub C Date

[JLM3]

exp II

[denmanproject]

Depending on price bracket I'd say

- Submariner
- Pelagos
- SKX007
- G-shock

[mic6]

SD 16600 if you want to go expensive
G-shock if you want to go cheap

[Joearch]

Not sure I am willong to beat on any of my Rolex or Panerai in a significant way. For me that means working in the yard, doing home improvement projects or washing the car. Used to be a G Shock but now it is this.

I think this is a pretty tough one;

You got a point there.

I see also lots of SD choices here.. its a heavy weight too.

[zdeckich]

SKX is my daily.

[Verdi]

Tough!?
It's got to be one of the Explorers.

dont do beater ,, i put my watch in my pocket when theres a chance it will get damaged , been doing it so long now , i dont even think about it ,,, so , if its something to keep on , im afraid anything costing hundreds , let alone thousands is out ,,,, so , in reply , anything costing a fiver from the garage is the ultimate beater ,,,, even g shocks are too dear just to beat about.
just my view

Exp II has a cyclops

[ref1655]

for the sake of discussion, is there a definable difference between an everyday-wearer & a true beater watch? choice/preference of an everyday watch might have a lot to do with one's occupation and/or recreational outlets.

personally speaking...for everyday use>a Rolex EXP2...for dastardly tasks>a Timex Expedition Combo.

minor scratches are part of owning any watch but scraping up an acrylic crystal on an older Rolex especially after just getting it back from RSC servicing can be a real drag.

Milgauss and Explorer I make nice everyday watch choices in my opinion.

X2 If I am working on the house, car, or doing something stupid, my Casio G-Shock Rangeman.

My daily watch is my GMT 1675.

[douglasf13]

I recently gave my G-shock to a friend, because I never wore it, so I no longer even have the temptation to wear something else for rough tasks. If my Sub can't handle it, it can always be repaired.
