26331st vs 26320st

[honuswagner13]

Any board member wear either of these watches everyday?

Just wondering how they hold up to normal wear on a daily basis.

I would expect either to get scuffed up with daily wear as the finishing is so exquisite.

I wear my 26331st every other day

It's fine, you learn to be aware of it if that makes sense. I've got a few small scratches on the bracelet but nothing on the bezel

I've owned both and wore them within a normal rotation. The bezel can be a scratch magnet, I wore them pretty often and very very rarely put a scratch on them. I believe after a year or so of ownership, I put maybe one tiny scratch on one but I tend to be aware of my surroundings. They don't scratch as easily as everyone on here states. I prefer the 26320 as it has the same sized subdials and prefer the same color subdials as well. Just my .02

I daily a 26320st since 5 years ago. Many people insisting they scratch super easily are either careless with their watches or are just parroting what they heard from others. I can count the number of noticeable scratches on one hand.

Thanks for the info gentlemen. Much appreciated!

Bezel and bracelet can always be replaced so real concern actually is the case getting dinged on the angles.

Very susceptible to dings. Wrist awareness goes a long way, but it just hurts a lot more to see it on an AP. Ruins the lines. Literally.

It is both as bad as everyone says it is (how fragile) and not as bad as they claim (how frequent).

Absolutely correct. Scratches are not that noticeable and don’t happen too often unless you wear your AP under a coat – this causes a lot of hairlines. Dings may or may not happen at all, but if they do they’re awfully apparent.

Basically the same watch with a different dial. That being said I love the all blue look AP decided with the 26320st.

[Xerxes77]

Same watch different dial and also small modification on deployment

[macrowatch]

I think the real question will actually require an additional poll option of the new 26239ST.

Thinness vs fatter with longer PR. Choices, choices!

Not looking forward to the increased thickness tbh...
