15305 26022 as a daily wearer?

I've been looking for something new and pretty much decided I will get an AP. It will take some time to save up the funds but I like to have set my goal, and then go for it.

I think the 15305 or the 26022 would be (almost) perfect for me. But would you guys use either as a daily wearer? I like watches i don't have to baby or be afraid to use. Right now I use my GMTc most of the time. Itīs pretty scratched but feels like it can take a hit.

I might have to add that I intend to get a rubber (strap) also, which I will use most of the time if I get the 26022.

I'd have to go skeleton.

Methinks you may be leaning gold though... having already thought through to getting a rubber band.

A YG on strap wouldn't be my choice for daily wear. That doesn't mean it's not a fantastic watch though. I'd love to have both to cover all occasions!

I will probably have either in rotation with my other watches. But I want the one I get to be durable enough to be a daily wearer. :) I hope to get them both further on. But my girlfriend screams wedding at the moment :P

No question between the two, 15305. Bracelet is much better and YG is not the best for DD also a bit less flashy.

Its great, but not for DD. For what he is looking, the 15305 is simply better.

There's one concern with 15305. Won't it seem a little childish when I'll be 40+ years old? With a skeleton dial.

As much as I like the 15305 I do not like the idea of not having a date window. 26022 for me.

Get the RG, its very good looking and more subtle than the very very busy skeleton dial and keep it on brown leather the perfect combo, rubber cheapens it, and wear the GMT and JLC as your daily, or trade one for a Sub or Expy or whatever you like, and have the AP for w/e.

I suck because I voted neither as a daily wearer.

Lycka till, Patrik!
