Looks great still!

Good to see!

I wear my 15300 at least 2 days/week. It's more than robust enough for an office job. I'm a leftie and wear mine on my left wrist so the bracelet and clasp are pretty scratched up. But when it goes for service that will all get cleaned up.

I wear mine every day and only take it off for bed. Has a few scratches but no worries.

Wow this watch looks like one of Dr. Tom's Daytonas

I agree that the finer finish makes scratches more visible but that doesn't mean the watch itself isn't "tough." I think we are led to believe that the only luxury watches that can look great and take a beating are Rolexes due to their ubiquitous advertising. Of course they also have a proven track record which reinforces this belief and makes us tend to underestimate other sport watches.

Everyone I know tells me get a sub or a tudor as a beater I use my 15300 as a beater 😆
