Consider me a test event in progress,Ive rarely met a watch which didn't freak out & break, usually within a short period of time. anything which lasts more then a few weeks is a winner.. Rollexes, 2-5, years, Sinn 2-3 weeks, Omega 2-3 months, actually seikos & citizens last a year or 2.I hate battery watchers, but am wearing one, Its a tossup weather the watch will outlast the strap .Yes I use power & hand tools, making sculpture & fixing the house, & I climb under the car to fix the muffler mount, and splice that wiring which some animal chewed through .Sure I get paint on them,Immersion in water, snow whatever.They will get whacked & bopped, dinged &Thats life, and a very short one .I like your watches & the P ones too, although your designs seem to be in the conventional mainstream,based on size &thickness.Ill probably get one and give it my best efforts. I gotta run & feed the stray cats.
