What’s your beater watch?
My dad gave me this on the bracelet and honestly thought it was ugly. Being titanium and quartz I was like why not try it on a strap. Wore it up to the mountains this weekend and I put it on regularly. Not sure if I wish more of my watches were titanium, 36mm or quartz. 🤷🏽♂️

36mm, titanium and quartz.
Great little beater watch for almost no money
If it's good enough for NASA... 😁
My G Shock DW5600 is my real beater, although any of my G Shocks would do as a beater. 😁.
Probably my Tag Connected.
I don't beat any of my watches thank you very much,I rub them with soft clothes 😁😂
Usually an Orient Kamasu or Seiko Captain Willard. Sometimes a Vostok.
Not that I beat it 😂 , but it is a GShock!
Grab it and go.
36mm, titanium and quartz.

That’s a cool watch. I haven’t heard of Lorus before. Where they from?

What reference Casio is that?

The watch I wear when I workout is the gw5000
Probably my Tag Connected.
Can you change the dial on that? I haven’t seen that one yet.
What size is that one?
Grab it and go.
Which reference is that one? Love the colors on the dial.
What do you do for a living?
I'm a mechanic. I've worked 20+ years in garages, so my hands are often in tight spots😁 So no desk divers, more like oil and grease divers😂
I’ve heard of the Hamilton Pulsar. 😂😂 so is Lorus and Pulsar like Orient?
Not quite actually. I'd say it's more like Orient is at least a tier or 2 above Pulsar n Lorus. They are more on the basic tier but their quality n selection is still pretty good. 😁
Nice looking nato strap
It's lovely, except for all that extra strap length going on.
My 16 year old daily work beater
When I think of a beater watch, I'm thinking BEATER.
As in this thing is likely going to get some abuse.
Yard work, cutting down trees, landscaping, sewer/septic, woodworking, hiking, fishing, etc.
Most used:
Vacation watch that's been in the ocean more times than I can remember:
Boldr venture earth 38mm and everything is Titanium.
My first automatic watch was a stainless steel PR 50. It’s a great little watch that I’ve had for over 20 years.
I’m really curious how you got your on a NATO strap? This watch doesn’t come on an integrated bracelet, but it has an extra piece between the lugs that discourage me from attempting to swap out the bracelet.
I haven’t seen too many of these still kicking around. Thanks for sharing!

What piece are you talking about? The middle piece is like a third link if I remember correctly. I measured the lug width and was like maybe this nato strap will work. It did and I’ve been wearing it ever since. lol. You should give it a try.

This is mine on the bracelet.
90s titanium mall pilot on diy bund. It's slim and light, so it just sorta dodges getting bashed in the first place.
This is mine on the bracelet.
Interesting, mine looks exactly the same. I guess I should have invested further. It looked to me like the double link in the middle was attached to the watch, but I guess it’s not.
I don’t have any 18mm replacement straps, but this could be interesting. Thanks for the tip!

Shoot me a photo if you end up trying it.
