Locman has been very successful in using wood for cases since they came on the scene in 1986hand6.gif...the use of Briar wood is the key as used in the best pipes in the world...it can be formed and shaped and will last forever if taken care of properly...Locman has also used Teak wood...both woods are also used throughout the marine industry ...sailboats,power boats etc. and are very weather durable/resistant if treated properly...there is a link on 3T somewhere of a member who owns one of the Locmans and I would imagine it would be comfortable...and can be found at some very good prices on the secondary market...below is a link to one of the quartz models but they were made in eta automatics / 7750 chronographs as well yourock.gif
