Why not? Cool watch

i wouldnt..
No
If you chose to beat it every day we can all find out
fuck yeah
Whatever makes you happy, OP!
Hell yeah it can!
When I eventually get my Tank, I will definitely wear it in casual situations. I'm thinking a vintage style beads of rice bracelet, or a cordovan leather strap, would suit well for those situations.
Put it on a twist-o-flex
My wife’s worn her Solarbeat every day for 2 years. It looks and works just fine. I’d say yes.
Looks “just fine”? What does that actually mean?
Looks like shit.
I wear other watches but my SolarBeat is my daily.
Yes, but I'd start adjusting the strap properly.
He'll, yeah!
I wanted to get the seiko tank as my everyday but couldn't find a vegan leather strap for it
It's a multi-thousand-dollar piece of jewelry. If you want to beat it up, of course you can absolutely do it. Whether you should is for you to decide.
to me, no, the tank is too refined and clean for a beater but if you are the kind of guy that carries himself like that 24/7 then go get it
Sure, as a bracelet.
Nice watch!
Im not really interested in dress watches but i saw a dude wearing an XL on orange perlon and it def caught my attention. I like the idea of turning a dress watch into a beater it’s kinda fun
Yes but it needs a Nato. Preferably in Camo.
Nah definitely a rubber strap.
Certainly! Looks great.
Is this a trick question?
It's a classic for a reason. I wouldn't call it a beater. I think that term is snooty. A beater is something you'd do manual labor in. Something you'd leave on while shoveling horse shit. The Tank isn't a beater. It is an every day watch though. Grab yourself a $40 gshock for the shit shoveling and you've got a lifetime pair
What size is this and what size is your wrist?
Half black half brown strap would be noice
Legit stopped wearing my Tank cold turkey after the Rolex came
It is a beautiful piece, but I just don't see the point of it anymore for me.
Which Rolex?
If that is what yon enjoys wearing every day, why not ?
Totally, maybe the strap won’t last as long and you might need to be more careful around water, but that’s about it.
Hah put it on a nato and out that baby w To work.
i'm gonna go out on a limb here and say it's too dainty for every day wear, especially as i see you have at least one sleeve... the contrast is great, don't get me wrong, but you'd be served better (stylistically) from something a bit meatier IMO
Yeah, I think you could do it. Different straps can really dress this watch up or down.
Based on this photo, yes
Daily yes.
The definition of beater is subjective. It depends on the person and their world. John Mayer can say his Daytonas are beaters bc he wears them to walk his dog. Probably the most manual labor he does.
But someone in law enforcement or a fire fighter or a construction worker probably wouldn’t wear their Tank to work.
Everyday, sure
Beater? I would argue, no. A beater to me is something I would wear while fixing the sink or cutting a piece of wood or something. I would take the tank off in those situations.
I have the tank must I use as an everyday beater. Goes well with any fit.
Is this the XL Tank?
why not, not like there is this holy rule against it
Any watch can be an everyday beater
Shiiit if u got the money for it any watch is.....for me its a seiko tho...
Wore my Tank Francaise (on a bracelet) for 10 years every day. Then something happened and I got more into watches so now it’s in rotation. But yes, yes you can.
I would say no TBH. It’s high polish all around and would scuff and nick very easily and quickly. Obvi “everyday beater” means different things to different people. For desk jockeys— sure. I work in food service and I’m cautious to wear anything but a diver.
I’ve been wearing my solarbeat every single day for 2 years!
