Tudor Black Bay Blue as daily beater.....

We anyone thought about getting Tudor Black Bay Blue as daily beater while your Sub ND (and the other Rolexes) are resting at home and you doing some hard work? (OK, I baby my Rolexes...)

Or have you considered Omega SMP 300, Omega 300 Master co-axial, Omega PO instead? They are in the same price range.

I would love a Black Bay Blue but would treat it the same as my Rolexes if I had one.
I don't baby my watches but at the same time I do try to take care of them. If I am doing hard manual work where I know they will get scratched or damaged I wouldn't wear them and would use my G-Shock instead. I wear Rolexes every day for everything else though. I would treat the BBB exactly the same. I think it's a great looking watch

When I am doing hard manual work where I know they will get scratched or damaged... I do not wear any watches. I do not have Casio and will never spend money on cheap watches. I think BB or the cheaper omegas are nice to have when you are in an "off office" situations....

There is another similar post about beaters at the moment my response is the same at the moment I have no beater but if I get one and I might it will be a System51 Swatch not a BB.... way too good to be called a beater

The Tudor Black Bay is the only good watch I have, way above my other watches by a few thousand quid. The BB is also the only watch I wear. Either I wear it, or the activity I'm doing warrants putting it aside temporarily. Otherwise I wear it to work, I wear it to sports, I wear it to sleep. I do try not be too stupid while wearing it, but at the same time I don't baby it. It is a faithful companion - sporty and classic at the same time.

I love it and would choose it over any of the Omegas you mentioned.
