This for an everyday watch?

Would this make a good everyday beater? Pros & cons?

Also, has the crown been replaced cos it doesn't seem original to me馃槖 Everything else looks okay to me and the seller says it has been serviced just a couple of days ago.

Haha yeah, I understand! Just tryna find something nice but not too expensive to wear every day, cos Apple watch etc. is not an option for me.

Good choice馃榾
All my everyday watches are 35mm dress watches - but then so are my smart ones.
They鈥檙e so light weight and comfortable you may never go back to a diver or multi sub dial watch

It looks like a nice everyday watch to me. Not a beater though. Check the lug width, the seller has cut the strap to fit, not sure if it was 20 > 18, or 18 > 16.

I assume dealer will show proof of the servicing... Other than that, without context on your life style, it could be a everyday watch.

Keeping n mind weather conditions, vintage watch and heavy rain, loads of humidity don't go together that we'll.

And @DaveK says, check the strap size. You could have different ones to change the mood of the watch every now and then.

Couldn't agree more! I came to this cos I sold my old Tissot and now feeling the regret and an empty spot on my wrist馃槦

Thanks! And thanks for pointing this out. I would anyways be replacing the strap with my own so no worries.

Possibly 11/16" US sizing. Many 17mm straps fit but you can get NOS 11/16" on eBay pretty cheap.
