The beater

What's your everyday beater. How much would you pay for an everyday do it all watch?

My SBGE253. Just fits everything I do on a daily in my central London life. Oddly enough, most of the time my Mudmaster is the odd day, special day watch cause these are the days I get down.

I think as a watch addict I have a watch for each occasion.

That said I hate the Kinetic movement so I use it as my beater:

What's yours?

In terms of price i guess it depends on the life style and preference. We tend to have this idea of a beater that can actually take a beating, but many of us have lives that have gone away from that. I have colleagues whose beater is a Sub or an Aquanaut.

I paid about $1370 CAD, or $1000 USD. That said, I don't consider my everyday watch a "beater".

And MY second DREAM with analog hands & more complications...

The ONLY thing that would make me spend 333 euro on a watch - would be if I simply get EVERYTHING and more, at once!

Except a moon phase indicator, so the watch not get too big...

First a 36mm wide, 40 high and 6mm slim rectangular solid black titanium case, with cut corners and a leaning edge up to the sapphire crystal... Almost as Casio royale...

Then must it have two 22x11mm golden displays, with black numerals (or black displays with golden numerals) 3mm from the upper and lower edge of the dial and crystal - with two lines of information each...

The first display show Weekday and (selected) Status (of extra function) on top and the numbers for the extra functionality on the second row... Then elegant golden half skeleton hour, minute and (a thin) second hands in the middle, which naturally must be moving over (but not hide) the two displays... The golden watch brand name and other texts, have then plenty of room at both sides of the middle... And finally the time display - with 5mm high Hour, Minute and second on the first row and 3mm high Year, Months and Date on the final bottom row...

And the delicious Complications AND additional practical advantages...

- 200 meters water proof, of course

- 10 years battery time

- Bracelet made of thin solid black titanium, with extra strong pins and ultra slim lock

- Chronograph functionality - with Hour, minute, second and 10th of second

- World times function, where you can select between 333 cities

- Timer

- Thermometer

- This materpiece must naturally handle dates until year 2222

- Air pressure

- Depth meter

- Golden sculptured 2,5 mm Roman numerals under the edge of the crystal and golden minutes dots, between them... So the dial will be - top space 3mm, first 11mm display, middle space 4mm, second 11mm display, bottom space 3mm

- Then can the dial have a nice pattern OR be slightly transparant, in a bronze tone, so you can enjoy the gears

It's been around the world. Bulova Marine Star. Zoom in and see the character of this tool watch. She still keeps great time.

Cheers!

I have an Invicta Pro Diver. 89.00 and good spec watch. I wouldn't lose sleep if I destroyed it somehow in using out and about.
