·Good Day,
I see the odd post as to whether a speedmaster pro will make a good daily wearer and will it survive.
Well after 19 years on the wrist the bracelet has snapped. During its 19 years l drove a garbage truck, delivered salt, worked in open cast mining, hauled cars, drove the ice roads and it spent the last 5 years in the oil and gas industry.
Serviced it twice, polished once. Has a significant dent in the case ( doesn't affect it ).
Water skied with it, cycled Moab, drenched in beer at festivals. Still happily ticks.
I tell everyone I cannot afford the batteries in modern watches and this one winds up so I'm saving money. Those who know, know.
So if you are thinking of owning one and calculating the cost of ownership v. depreciation v. toughness.
they do last. Treat it better than l did and it will last a lifetime. I'm off to by a nato strap & go for another 19 years.
Daniel.
