WristScan

Friends, the WristScan "Daily Beater" starts now. Opening the thread a little bit earlier as I will be on the road for the next few hours. So please show us your watch that is your "Daily Beater" in some sense of the meaning. For me, the Girard-Perregaux ...

It's alright for a thirty-something hardworking guy.

. . . the vintage Ω tank. Easy to set, runs great, bespoke strap that fits just right, and best of all: low profile. If I did any physical work or played golf, it would be something more rugged, but that's just not the case. Ease of operation is the most ...  

. . . but as has been famously said about monkeys and typewriters, eventually, all of them will turn out to be lucky watches ;-) . . .

Truly classy!! I feel it deserves some aditional close shots!! Hagwe my dear friend! Abel

. . . when I have access to my computer later in the day, Abel. Hope all's well with you, and that you're back home safe and sound! Warmest, Art

... I´m back home since last Saturday... safe and sound! And back to work and rutine! All the best my dear friend! Abel.

. . . from a while back, taken near Maggie's old haunting ground. Glad to hear you're back home safe and sound, Abel. Best, Art ...  

Thank you for posting this great shot at my request my friend!! Thank you for your greetings as well. Not easy to return to work after a couple of weeks of doing nothing!! Lol! Have a nice week end my dear Art! Cheers! Abel

The water resistance, light titanium case and rubber strap are perfect for Florida. Best, Martin ...

This has always been one of my favorites and I believe the watch you were wearing when I saw you at AdM the first time! Non? Best, Tim

Hi All While I understand the concept of a beater , couldn't bring myself to have one. So some of my long termers - which were worn daily. Oris Big Crown first watch I bought for myself - was worn constantly for about 4 years. Then my Duo came along & pre...  

Not that I'm obsessed or anything ;-) Cheers JML ...  

I've had comments from friends who say I'd never wear that for work. But then when do you wear it? Though - I'd never wear them to do DIY or play golf in them. That's where a Swatch comes in handy. Cheers JML

and nicely cared for beaters out there on your wrists. I have a few but maybe not so nice in either category. Best to all, Tim ...  

Getting more than its fair share of wrist time lately. cheers fernando ...  

this one just about all weekend long. I think that is the closest to a daily beater I get. HAGWE! ...

My white 16570 does absolutely everything with me: work, workout, swim, travel, tennis, etc. Played tennis twice with it this week, and will have another hit tomorrow as well. Here it is, with a matching white / red vintage Kneissl racquet, circa 1987. Lo...  

Well.. What is a Beater ? - A very frequently worn watch, versatile & also robust to all challenges of daily life. - Or simply a GADA watch (Go Anywhere, Do Anything) type of tic-tac ? Thus, some few here.. Panerai Luminor Titanio, PAM 176 PAM 176 sit...  

Best & HAGWE, dear friend !! hs.

the first shot is superb! I see a winner there! I also fell in love with your last series 5513. It has developed a wonderful and super rare patina! I had never seen that before: the deep creamy indexes on 3-6-12 and ligher in the other indexes makes for a... 

Also I’m happy that you liked these choices.. As to the 5513, with this really unusual patina, I really love that a lot, as this pumpkin colored indices vs the regular ones are more a peculiarity,maybe coincidence but IMO are e very nice & a pretty config... 

... 5513. The patina pattern is so unusual and gives beauty and personality to your Submariner. And the master Compressor, I will keep my eyes open to fin one! I like that watch so much! Keep enjoying them so much! Cheers! Abel

PS: Recently came to my mind that Junior must be a pretty tall & strong kid, I can imagine..

No wonder your beater changed are all uniquely exciting beater

.. Guess these are these funny coincidences & often nice surprises in these Vintage Rollies.. Best, my dear friend ! hs.

Since I love rotating my watches all the time and I never stick with 1 watch longer than a few days (and only when forced), I can't say I have a 'beater' per se. So, I decided to submit my most versatile watch, the one that has most different uses. Here i...  

That blue really is mesmerizing and changes in different light.

I probably have more "beaters" than any other type of watch because I do love daily variation. Having said that, the watch that has been on my wrist about 70% of the time this year has not been what I call a "beater", so I can't do a Mr. Humblebrag and po...  

Show us how to humblebrag...

I could have said, I wear this 5650G as my daily beater because I want to keep the other 5 that i own pristine in the safe (next to my skymoon T). That would have been better

......to be subtle and humble aboit one's staggering wealth and intelligence.

...  

.....i know its in a drawer, but is the drawer in my complex in Monaco, the castle in Edinburgh or the Penthouse on 5th Avenue.....i just can't remember.

I am down to three possibles now

but not to "beat" it around but because you cannot get away from it.

.. I absolutely can relate to the notion, that it was sitting on your wrist 70%.. Thx for sharing, dear friend ! Always enjoy your comments to go with your choices ! Best, hs

But I dislike the term ‘beater’. Why would you do that to a watch? Daily Beater sounds to deliberate to me (if you get my drift). Although I don’t know what terminology to use otherwise.... “Daily Useables”?

but we could do a "competition" on HoMe and ask members to come up with new names?

Great White..... that second shot...snowboard.....it looks like a shark

Are watches I have no worries about wearing while playing with kids. Only got them recently but they get lots of wrist time on weekends - two Casio G-Shocks, namely the DW5600BBN and the DW5600HR. Have a great weekend! ...  

Took me 35 years to try one and I have to admit it’s supremely fit for purpose.

From alien invasion to kids birthday party, it will most likely survive everything. Well, perhaps not a day at the office but otherwise...
