Re: Firearm use...
In Response To: Firearm use... ()

: sorry for the early misposting. anyway i never had a problem with my SM auto when using firearms. just make sure that you don't stand near a person firing one specially if he is using an automatic gun. Those "autos" eject their empty shell casings with a nasty loop. I cracked a friend's watch crystal with an ejected shell casing once when he stood a few feet to my right when i was doing some firing (the heavy base of the case did the damage, crack at the 7&8 o clock position and the guy had his arms crossed to his chest). Fortunately he was wearing an inexpensive quartz watch at that time.whew...

Now the chances of a flying shell case hitting your watch squarely to do damage may be one in a million but it's not worth exposing a superb watch to such an activity.
