Mark and his "beater" watch - Traser H3 Navigator

Mark was in town the other day (lives with his wife and two kids in Brisbane - Yes Mark, we know the food is average there at best and nothing is opened after 6.30pm in the city). I helped him buy a Rolex Seadweller a few years back. Mark has since replaced his Seadweller (on his wife's wrist now - just like H) with a Traser H3 Navigator. For Mark, he considers this as his beater. A "beater" is just that, a watch that you can wear and knock about and more or less not worry about. "Beater" is the name given to these type of watches by watch collectors. The Traser is cheap and purely functional. Now I'm not saying the Seadweller can't hold up to what a Traser can, but would you want to smack your $7000 AUD watch around or treat it like a $200 AUD beater....
