No problem as a daily watch, it is robust enough to take a beating and still look great with a suit or t shirt and jeans.

Yes it can be worn as a daily, its probably my favorite daily watch option on the market. I dont have one a little out of my price range for a SS watch but one of the best imo. What kind of work are you in? What kind of activities consist in your daily life?

I wear mine almost daily on weekdays, going to the office. Not too fragile. It does fine even when I get home and play with the kids. A great watch!

I wear my 25860 a lot. The only time I don't is when I know I'll be in/around water because of the 50m WR rating (like the 15202). Otherwise it would be a great choice.

Not fragile per se, but the finish can show battle wounds pretty easily. I don't baby my watches and my 15202 shows it, but that doesnt make me love it any less. Despite what so many on here say, its ok to get a little wet too.

I wear my Daytona all day, every day, and my next watch will be a 15400. I don't worry too much about little nicks and marks. My Daytona has a couple, but nothing distracting, so I'm confident a Royal Oak would take the same amount of "abuse" desk-diving.

I wear my 26320 as a daily and work in an office. I find it as versatile as my SD or 2 tone datejust. I just take it off whilst typing as I don't find it comfortable.

It's made to be worn so might as well enjoy it.

The Daytona was my daily for about 18 months, and the 15400 has been my daily now for about 8 months. The 15400 shows less scratches (the PCLs on the Daytona, especially the clasp, didn't hide anything).

At JJ - what size is your wrist? I'd love to see some wrist shots of both the Daytona and the RO, if you don't mind!

I honestly couldn't tell you my wrist size, but it is pretty flat; so the 15400 fits like a glove.

Check out my IG (username below); there are a lot of wrist shot pictures of my RO.

For a daily, I don't believe the 15202 will hold up as well aesthetically as a Rolex sports model. The fine brushed finish on the bracelet and the mirror polish on the bezel are quite susceptible to noticeable marks.

Kind of true, but the AP LOOKS great and it can always be polished/buffed

For the most part, the Jumbo is my work watch. Easily wear it more than half the week. It looks fine after two years and has only fine swirls from desk diving.
