Simple proposition: Should I trade my SS Diver on AP bracelet for a black faced Rubberclad ?

I love the diver but need a daily wearer and the diver seems to be a scratch magnet !

TIA for all your thoughts.

PS. I do have a Panda in the stable as well.

I like the Rubberclad, but I like the Diver better. I would keep it if I were you.

I much prefer that Diver but a rubber or ceramic bezel makes sense if you tend to bang it up.

RC was the most durable bez ROO prior to the introduction of ceramic. I have had mine since 2006, no dings out of the bez and zero issues. You already have a panda with steel bez so if it were me I would go with the RC. I do prefer the FC diver or newer ceramic diver for durability over the steel model
