A really SERIOUS question...........dare you answer.........

A really SERIOUS question...........dare you answer.........?????
The Lifestyle Watch, a beater........
I have a question,
One I thought a bit to ask.
What are you comfortable wearing everyday to tell the time?
Which features do you hope to find in the watch that you would wear as a beater?
I know for me it must be tough
Waterproof to some hundred of a meter
Able to move with me seamlessly from the office to the beach
Automatic (Eco-drive perhaps)
With a second hand
Sweeping
Tell time accurately
Display the date
Display the day
Readable in the dark
With a bezel to tell elapsed time
Screw,
The crown down.
A metal bracelet too
Fits under a long sleeve
Complements a short sleeve
Able to take a scratch (But not done regularly or intentionally)
Say something about who I am
Some call it your “beater”
I call it my Lifestyle Watch
A watch that captures my Lifestyle
Supports it too
And captures my gaze to view it
For a minute, even
Apart from the looks to tell me the time
The selection from my collection
That is not only default
But a joy to wear
So not kept in a vault
It hugs
It has style
Some special features (crown @ 3:18:32)
A bit of presence
It doesn’t scream “look at me !!!”
But coyly appreciates a compliment
It is not too heavy
Nor too light
Its weight distributes just right
Able to last and endure
It’s something of a relationship
This is my answer, can you add more????
My latest answer is the Seiko SKX007J on a Presidential.
I hope that you do enjoy the pictures, as much as I enjoyed composing and collating this article.
I would also like to TOTALLY, dedicate this thread to persons such as Quartzimodo, and all others who advise, listen, consider, compose, photograph, review, post and share their passion for watches on forums.
I thank especially, Ww Lee at Chronograph for filling my order all the way from Singapore to the Caribbean, and the pictures tell a 1,000,000,000 words.

Always love the SKX007's dial and markers...but I hardly think this watch dont call attention to itself with such bling bling jubilee bracelet. 
Very nice pictures, I just came across this post from the SKX007 club post.
I particularly like the watch on the basket picture.

A few question, is the president bracelet a SEIKO or aftermarket bracelet? Is it solid or folded steel links?
Thanks

Its a Seiko bracelet, with solid links.
Hello Commander,
Very good post, and may I congratulate you on finding the perfect daily wearer for you, as the SKX007 surely fills that tall order!
Your pics were great & I can see how happy you are, and Lee is also a fine gent indeed, so you did it up right buddy.
My answer to your question would be my Seiko 6309-729A, although I dont consider any of my watches beaters, and I would hate to ever ding or mare one of them, the 6309-729X just is the watch for me that fills the order of your list with out spot.
