Ditto. My "beater" cost me $50, and my "dress watch" $75.

To me, a beater is something i dont care about being USED. Scratches, dings etc.

Just dont feel like putting my 16613 thru that, despite it can handle it with EASE.

I wear my SS Sub Date (16610) on a daily basis: -



However, I wear a Luminox 1580 - Sea Diver Series when I go fishing, especially night fishing, as the lume is far superior to a Rolex: -

VERY nice sub! The two-tone gold goes best with the black dial and gold writing, IMO.

GMTIIc is my beater... in reality it beats everything else around it

I think the PO is one of the best divers designs out there, leaning back to the original 1960s 300 designs, and the PO strap is wonderful - very solid and hefty. The PO is refined, but still a very much a tool watch. Good choice.

Nice photos too.
