Re: How tough is a c5?
I wore my C5A MKII as my daily watch until a few months ago when it was replaced by a C60. After selling the C60 It's now back on my wrist. I confess to diving into a swimming pool with the C5 on but it hasn't suffered any ill effects at all. I also knocked mine against a rough concrete wall and it slightly marked the case, which would easily polish out, but not the crystal. I think they're pretty tough little things that are capable of standing up to knocks. And before anyone comments that I should have been wearing my C60 when i dived in the pool.........
