Both of mine are in pretty good shape. I guess I would refer to them as "daily wear" rather than "beater". They have enough character marks to keep me from worrying about knocking them around, and I only take them off for the most severe tasks (like major work on the car).

'73 6138-8020:

When I am not wearing that one, it's a '73 6139-6005:

This G-Shock Riseman gets the most wrist time of all my watches. It just fits my wrist perfectly and may be the most comfortable of all my watches. It also has some useful interesting features with temperature, barometric pressure and altitude.

As I switch watches every day i do not have any beater as in everyday watch.
Strangely this one is probably in most use this winter.
Bought mostly as to fit in my collection, but I do not know why, just like it a lot and wear it a lot.

During hot and wet summer I tend to wear a little bit newer watches on bracelet.

This is my beater, a modified 007:

It's already had a hard life, but then again, a very meaningfull one.

I guess I only have one Seiko that qualifies for the beater category:

Picked up this SKX173 last year from a fellow forum member, and it's seen a fair share of action as you can tell, but it's got great lume and is very accurate.

I've got a new crystal and bezel insert for it, but if I replace those parts, Im sure I'll have a case of the "Aurelius-syndrome" - all of a sudden it'll be too nice to be a beater.

I think my favorite daily-wearer for normal tasks would be the SBCM023:

Light on the wrist and wears well due to its smaller size, super-accurate, perpetual calender, decent lume and water-resistance. Goes well with almost any outfit.
What could be better?

If I need something for really dirty and/or tough jobs, I'll go for one of my G-Shocks like the G-7900 for instance:

Relatively cheap, always ready, virtually indestructable, and great timing features on top of that.

Mark Your Sami is Worth a POINT Love the Strap and Dial/hands Very Nice

I know the Samie is harder to find and more $$ Love what you did to Yours.

Bought it on the sales forum for around 50 bucks. No need to baby it, but I can always expect it to work perfectly, and the eco-drive means that I can expect the gaskets to be solid for many years to come..

Great watch.

Here's a couple of mine

Sumo has started to take on the beater look

Seikozen · « **Reply #38 on:** February 05, 2012, 10:33:00 PM »

Bjorn I find Daily wearer fits rather then Beater Your Grand Seiko Chronometer is just Beautiful

I cannot imagine that as a Beater A Beautiful Vintage Seiko what ever it's called

A Very Special Seiko as the rest of your Collection.

If by beater you mean one that you use and that is all scratched up I don't have one...

I have some watches I wear on a regular basis... like this one that I am wearing today, but I take great care not to scratch it or beat it up...

BobbyMike · « **Reply #40 on:** February 06, 2012, 04:09:53 AM »

My current line up of beaters, bought specifically to wear on the jobsite and in my shop....

Like some people on this site... I change watches almost daily... One I like to wear if the going can get rough is this very inexpensive used Casio Pathfinder PAS400B-5V Fisherman. If it breaks...get another, they are very good but can be easily replaced.

JoseJMartinez · « **Reply #42 on:** February 06, 2012, 04:18:29 PM »

But here is my prized beater of all time, maybe 38 years old and have used it most of those years with only a couple of plexiglass changes and have it with an aftermarket Jubilee which looks quite original. I hope it is not sacrilegious puuting it in the Japanese watch area. This has not been a sissy watch and has never seen any delicate care... tough as nails.

My 7C43 - "takes a licking and keeps on ticking"

Modded 6309 with blue coated jake b sapphire, serviced with new gaskets, dial relumed but im in process of changing the skeleton hands for 6309 hands and a polished chapter ring. Great daily beater. Regards. Kev

I forgot about this one - when it comes to the tough stuff - the old protrek takes some beating!

A couple of beaters from my watch box...
