Something you will wear daily as your default watch, even for the most casual of occasions.

Speedmaster Professional. It’s been my grail since I was 14 or 15 years old, my dad gifted it to me unexpectedly when I graduated. He told me not to baby it and I never have. Also I work in a lab and the chronograph comes in handy just about every shift

I went through a collecting thing but honestly I’ve worn my speedy almost completely nonstop since the pandemic hit

This a hesalite?

[–] agrp8@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Me too. I don't really pay attention when I have mine on & it has very little signs of wear. I do have the new sapphire version so I'm sure that helps with the crystal, but even on the bracelet & case I notice very little markings. Do anything & everything with this watch!

Yeah I agree, over the years I got a scratch or two on the hesalite but they came off with a little bit of polywatch. There’s a little bit of wear on the bracket clasp just from it resting on a desk here and there but nothing I’m upset about

Beautiful watch with a great story.
