What do you use as your daily beater?

that's too bad.I have an AP 15400 coming in the mail. I hope I didn't make a mistake going for the 41mm AP instead of the 39 that is also offered.
The Offshore is stated to be 44mm, but in my opinion it is more like 46mm, it is really a huge watch.

The 15400 is a great looking watch, would love to own one of those one day.
Do you mind sharing where you bought it?
I actually scored a white dial miyota one from the rwi sales page yesterday. Only worn twice!

I actually paid just under the new price. It's worth it to me though because I don't have to worry about missing things in QC pics or having a broken watch because they would have mentioned it on the watch description. I've been trying to find the right one for almost 2 months so I can't wait for it to come!
I'll be sure to take some nice pics.
Have to earn the rwi photography award

My daily beater is a Hublot Diver 4000 a2824! I love it and cant put it down.
Its going to kenny for a lume as well
Being only 18.5mm thick I cant imagine what the 1:1 version is like!

my 16610 sub is my daily beater. I wear it when I'm working. i do home remodelling, and also yardwork and such around my house. I've never had a watch waterproofed when I get it and I wear them all in water. Not saying that is a good idea for you to do. but I've never had an issue with any of them. I guess that's just a chance that I take though.
Daily beater for me means a watch I wear in activities that guarantee it's gonna take a beating, like doing all kind of mechanical work, weight lifting at the gym, falling around the forest with my bike etc. For that I use a cheap Parnis on nato, it looks kick ass, reliable Citizen quartz movement that can take impacts without problem and I can use the chrono to time my activities, great AR and the lume is even better than an IWC with all numerals lumed. It's so cheap, you can buy them by the dozens and just replace it when it breaks, so far my first one is still standing with surprisingly very little marks. Haven't tested it for waterproofness cause I don't care if it takes water in, but so far it went to pretty good depths without issues. For any other activities I just rotate thru the rest of my watches.
Great watch, really looks like the IWC. How much did you pay for that Parnis?
Cheers!
I think it was around $79 off eBay. Also, look at the case finish, as far as I noticed there are two types, one with chamfer on the lugs and one without, so there might be differences in quality between different sellers.
Couldn't disagree more. A sub is such a classic, perfect anything, including daily beater. Dude, wear a tricked out TC and love it forever!

Well, thats just like when someone is looking for a new car, and you say: "get a VW golf." The obvious choice.
Not saying a sub (or a golf) is bad, is it just the obvious /boring choice. That is not what I'm looking for.
My daily wear is my super avenger, suited and booted and in meetings i catch many people looking at it. I have even been to appointments with ceo's and had compliments on the watch.
Just found this on Perfect clones. Ordered from them a couple of times before. This is WR to 1000m.

Pretty insane watch for this price I'd say.
