Cool thread.....

I use all these as beaters, even though a few are a bit more costly than traditional beaters. Hard use watches rock.

Beaters?
These four all continue to endure some very rough use. They've been rode hard, put up wet, and have significant wabi to show for it:

These next four guys used to mix it up plenty. They've all had their share of hard knocks and carry a few battle scars.
But they've all been taking a break from the rough-and-tumble of late:

To tell the truth, I can't consider any of my watches as "beaters" per se, in as much as if I really think they're gonna get a beating, I take 'em off.

Please tell me that you didn't put the Titan C I just bought from you through the same test :tap:

:lol:

My Eco-Drive gets pretty hard use. Sometimes have a quartz based watch is not such a bad thing :)

Normally I’d be pissed that you bumped an 8 year old thread, but this brought back some good memories.
