Need beater watch recommendations!
Hello everyone, I want to do a test but I need help from watch crunchers. I'm working with all kinds of metals, steels and alloys. I want to do a scratch resistant sapphire crystal test. I need recs for a watch with these specs
Sapphire Crystal
Relatively thin 12mm and under
Really affordable $300 and under
A 24 hour time scale could be a bonus
The Hamilton picture is just for reference but is out of price range. Any suggestions? Whatever I purchase I'll post here and update over time. I'm looking forward to a fun challenge

Do they use sapphire in their watches? Do you have a particular model to recommend?
Any experience with this model?

Am I the only one astonished that brands use a picture with a visible gap in the end links as marketing material? 😱
