Show Us Your Beater.. !!

It's about time to take down the decorations. I carefully took off my new Speedy and went to the box for my "beater".

Pam says...."You're not wearing that in the yard, are you ?".

I said, Sure...This one is my beater....and she just shook her head as she walked away..

OK..So, here's mine...What's yours ????

Obviously, "beater" is a relative term...

I have 3 :


This GMT-master II I use at work ( Aircraft engineer ), like here in Dubai Airport :








This Explorer II I use for Hiking, traveling, biking, everyday life outside work, like last september in the French Alps :







This Submariner I use for the wet activities or when I am really on leaves and don't need to know the date, here in 2006 visiting Ishigaki-Jima island ( south Japan ) :







I never get bored of those three, and although i am carefull with them, they are my beaters.

Cheers / Pierre

Here is my one, but unfortunately it didn´t looks as
a beater at the moment.
