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
