Ditto For Me...
In Response To: Re: HOW ABOUT TARGET SHOOTING? ()

: I wore a Seamaster Deville for thirty years
: while firing handguns and shotguns. No ill
: effects, although the watch was on my left
: arm and the gun was in my right hand. Still,
: it never entered my mind to consider damage
: to my Omega.

I also wear my watch on my left wrist but am a right-handed shooter. A few times I've been to the range and forgot to wear my "beater" instead of my Bond SMP. That watch is now over 4 1/2 years old and still runs as well as it did on day one.

I'm not as adventurous as Sam, though. I don't shoot anything more powerful than a .45 ACP and a .357 SIG. With my small frame, I think a .500 Magnum would have me on the ground after one shot.
