Ode To The Lowly Beater

[Dan Pierce]

Why in the Rolex section, you ask? It's related.
Wearing my Xezo GMT all this week on the road and it got me to thinking. When traveling for work I will wear my Rolex GMT, or the GMT and a beater, or just a beater depending on the work involved.
Wearing a beater, particularly when it's the appropriate watch for the situation, has many benefits for me.
-it keeps my Rolex from undue wear & tear.
-offers variety [God knows a wis needs that!].
-it reminds me I don't need a Rolex as a status symbol, but rather the proper tool that helps me in my job.
-wearing a beater also makes me appreciate the Rolex brand even more.
-it makes the return home that much sweeter when winding those Rolex oysters and deciding which will adorn my wrist.
Just some thoughts, your milage may vary.
