Hi everybody! I'll take 2 planes next tuesday to go to the LNG(Liquefied natural gas) plant for 2 weeks. I wasn't using any watch there before but since last year, I was wearing my Tissot Seastar: It took very well the beating. But I came across some good price sub case without date magnifier(I prefer...)and sapphire glass with AR coating... So I decided to make me up a work-watch: The sub case is not taking place on my wrist and with a good genuine US issued black strap, it will do the perfect trick under the leather glove in my 12 hours action days. My watchmaker made it ready today. Movement choice: The 17 jewels 2801-2 ETA manual winding. A beating-proof movement who's precise(mine was timed/tested by my watchmaker) and proven to be trusted since long. It got as I understood it, the same platform as the 2824-2 and others in the same kind... Here's some pics;)      |

That looks fantastic and I like the mix of sub case and hand cranking movement. Is water resistance at all a concern for you during your long and brutal days? |

Thanks Pax and all of you guys! No, the water-resistance is not of any special concern: We have to wear continuously gloves on the job and it may take some water drops when I wash my hands but that's it. I oil my leather gloves to repel water from water, ice or snow also: It's a must as it can blow to -35c now up there...Wet fingers can't last long;) The case should be water tight anyway: There's a double gasket system on the crown and an O ring back. I went for the hand-cranck because it should tolerate more shocks than the auto I think. The date absence is no issue for me there: I just work,eat,sleep,eat,work...Every single day in my 2 weeks rotation...After that, we all know when it's time to go home:D |

Well done Will! I like the fact that you picked a sterile dial. This is a unique beater for sure and you chose the right components IMHO...Looks like the New WillBoll Watch Co. is doing well...;)  Congrats and enjoy your new tool!  |
