[QUOTE="mtngunr, post: 4333297, member: 46104"] I am impressed. I would think any liquid in case would dampen movement enough to effect time keeping, but that is from the perspective of someone who studied watchmaking when quartz was new. Personally, I just buy and wear Seiko automatic ISO dive watches, figuring a minute or two fast per month perfectly fine and able to easily take anything I put it through, from recoil to magnetic fields, and they stay on except for showers (only to dodge soap effects on seals). Good solid beaters that stay looking presentable, and a movement swap every 6-7yrs and new seals about all that's required. I remember the first Seiko I worked on, and was thinking what a cheap way of doing things, except, they generally work as well or better than much finer watches. [/QUOTE]
