Which is your preferred daily beater?

[peanut]

I have been looking for a daily beater for some time.  My daily beater should be tough (can withstand some abuse).  In addition, it must be beautiful and nice to look at.  I really like MIH for its simplicity but toughness I am not sure.  GS SBGE001 is still top on my list but also the most expensive and it may be too much to use it as a daily beater.  The other Seiko SBBN013 (tuna) is a good option.  Damasko is tough but not as "pretty" as the rest.  Sinn or Glycine is always good option.

Which one would you choose?

I am using my Fortis marinemaster as my beater..tough piece it is

[GlySinn]

Voted for the Sinn U1.
perhaps I'm biased as the U1 was my ex-daily beater. 
it's a tough n hard to scratch watch..

I treid to induce a scratch onto my U1 and I tell you,the tegimented steel is really as tough
as claimed.As a beater,its hard to beat

I am the only one who voted for the MIH hehe.
The story behind the way is so great.
Also the annual calendar plus chrono is useful.

My requirement for a watch that can b called Daily beater should at least the following

I voted damasko but I prefer dc67

[besview]

Let's just say the not that many ppl would use a rm19k watch as a beater,oh well,rm15k if they bought it used

[jacky8888]

I vote for damasko da37. Nice lume dial.

[dennis.T]

My vote to U1 , submariner is my daily beater before I got my U1..but sub is too loud for me who work at construction site

[David_cheong]

Mine is the Sinn 656.

It fits almost all the criteria proposed by Chris

I don't really have a daily beater. I rotate my watches for the week. If I go for a trip, I will take my Fortis or BP. I definitely love to wear my sub as a daily beater but I'm afraid of sending out wrong messages.

I'm surprise that u choose BP for a trip watch, it is not gmt, with leather, huge n not tough...

Why BP?

[peanut]

I am also rotating my watches to wear but it is a bit of an issue for me when travelling.  For example, i wear my AP RO for this short trip to Manila but it is not ideal.  I will most likely get a tough GMT but good looking watch for travelling.  GMT is a nice to have but not really a definite requirement though

Why BP?

I put on a BP becoz I tend to forget to wind the watch (if manual) and the PR (my only watch has tat) tells me how much power left. On top of that, it has 7 days PR, so I have no worries that the watch stops unexpectedly. the PR really helps when u go on a trip coz u will pay more attention to your trip as compared to ur route to your office.
 
GMT is not a big issue. I just adjust the time before I got off the plane. If needed, I will adjust again. It is a tough watch, but just take it attracts a lot of scratches if not careful. So far manage to avoid major scratches

I do agreed it is better to have bracelet rather than  leather but then hey, BP comes in leather strap only and I want to take my BP together with me for the trip
