Advice - full RG Daytona
Hi all,
Long time no post.
I’m looking for some advice from owner’s past/present on the durability of running a full everose watch (bezel and bracelet) as a daily wear.
I’m expecting:
- RG bezel to be more susceptible to scratches than ceramic (obviously)
- bracelet to pick up a few more scratches
- water damage/resistance to be unaffected
- weight of watch to be noticeable, potentially uncomfortable if strap is not well fitted
Am I mad to consider this? Do these watches just get banged up a disproportional amount compared to steel? Bit like a Royal Oak?
Any thoughts welcomed.
Cheers

Buy and enjoy ….
Yes, the metal will be softer than a ceramic or steel but in my opinion the beauty of an all gold watch more than makes up for that. Patina on any watch is something that is personal, special and should be celebrated and if a small scratch annoys you, hav...
I can’t give you advice on RG Daytona based on experience. But do wear a RG president and I absolutely love it.
I love the weight of the watch. I’ve taken it into water without an issue. I have seen several RG Daytonas and I think they are beautiful. I would pull the trigger and enjoy it in the best of health.
If there's no owner of an Everose Daytona here,
I'd advise you to reach out to @belgiancollector on IG: he owns one and posts some terrific shots of it. As far as I'm concerned, I wasn't even aware that there are Everose Daytonas (but I find the one below pretty gorgeous in its own right). Best, Emmanu...
Welcome back! You're listing just the negatives, I assume to minimize unpleasant surprises.
I get it! I do the same thing when delving into new territory. The clasp (and secondarily the bracelet) will probably be the first part of this watch to show signs of use during daily desk wear. That's the case for most people. If the thought of that both...
