Anyone daily a 6263? Feedback?

[7sins]

In another misc thread, a member mentioned they owned a 6263 and wouldn't daily wear it as the watch felt frail and not sturdy due to the hollow links. Curios if other members feel the same way? I am on the hunt for a 6263 and wish to use it often for work with a suit but want to make sure it is a watch that can be worn without worry. Any insight and thoughts would be greatly appreciated as I am having a very difficult time finding one local to try on in LA.

You could try Tropical watch not quite LA but not a million miles away. They might be a little thin on the ground and your search might take you further afield

I have a 6.3 mil 6263 with 78350/571 bracelet/end link combo and feel the watch is plenty sturdy on that bracelet.
I do find it more sturdy than the earlier 7205 or 7835 bracelets since they have folded links and don’t have quite as solid of a feeling.
Maybe the lighter feeling of the 4 digit hollow bracelet is all the other person was referring to.
I don’t wear mine daily or even regularly, but have no problem wearing it without concerns of fragility.
As for the watch head itself, I feel it is no less suitable for regular wear than any other vintage or neo-vintage watch I’ve owned.
The 78350 bracelet, or leather strap, is probably the best of all worlds for daily wear on a 4 digit Daytona.
