Research...in the name of TRF

Ever wondered if it’s safe to wear your Black Bay on the 4th of July in the rain?



I’m sacrificing in the name of research to get you the answers you need!

So far so good. As you can see we already have begun to see some side effects on the crystal. But it’s holding up well.

Time for main course.

Ugh, do not miss Miami. It's actually cool in the shade here....well, just got out of the pool but still, don't miss the humidity.

Stay safe out there!

Humidity is right.



Despite all of this the BB is holding up well to the testing.

Some test results were inconclusive. Must re-test and evaluate new results.
