I've owned a blue 15300 for almost a year and have worn it sparingly. This beauty needs some wear! I have favored a few Rolex and IWC pieces for daily wear, but am thinking this should be put in the mix. If I was to knock it or scratch it, what's the worse that can happen? I'm not planning on wearing it like a g-shock, but am on the move constantly.

A great daily watch.

Viv Savage · 1 June 2014, 01:30 PM

Indeed.

lig · 1 June 2014, 01:39 PM

In my rotation it's my #1 daily by a good margin. I love it.

Cru Jones · 1 June 2014, 04:58 PM

Looks great!

What's worse? An occasional scratch or not wearing it?

texex91 · 1 June 2014, 10:23 PM

15300 is awesome--I just wish I had bought one before they stop making them!

You got a sweet piece there, man. I wish I would have picked up the blue dial when I bought mine. The white hits all the notes though...

Exactly, be careful for sure but do wear it.

Thanks for the replies. Any pics of APs that have been worn daily for long periods of time? Are costs for a new bezel or middle case astronomical if they were to catch a ding?

would like to hear more on this too bec my roc caught a few scratches on the bezel and bracelet.

kilyung · 2 June 2014, 03:00 AM

After three years of regular wear (albeit in rotation).

dysondiver · 2 June 2014, 03:12 AM

that white is spectacular mike , looks great after being a daily wear for so long.

Lrlx · 2 June 2014, 08:40 AM

It's my every day watch. Wouldn't have it any other way!

HL65 · 2 June 2014, 08:57 AM

Sure why not?

An AP polish is not that expensive. I have heard of quotes of $300-$1000 depending on work needed.

Since you already have the dang thing yes!

Hairdude1 · 2 June 2014, 02:32 PM

Go for it

CWIN · 2 June 2014, 02:41 PM

I wear my 15300 as often as possible

Fiery · 2 June 2014, 09:45 PM

I wore my 15300ST daily, in rotation with my Sub-C. While the RO felt a bit more delicate, it was just as perfect daily wear as the Sub. The worst thing to happen with a RO is putting a few scratches or dings on the bezel. You can polish it 2 or 3 times, and then (15 years from now or so) you can ask for a brand new bezel at service. Everything can be repaired, even the case can be replaced for any (modern) watch. Stop worrying, just wear that beauty

I use it rotation with my 5167, but I favor the 15300.
A great everyday watch... Scratches makes history;)
