You don't get to see 5712's that much in wild, thanks for sharing.

Lovely brookie and 5712. Question for those more knowledgable than I -- given that you wear the watch on your right hand, do you worry about trauma to the movement with a day of vigorous casting, or is the caliber 240 robust enough to handle this without issue?

I am not very knowledgeable... But I can say that I went out fly fishing a few time with the 5712 and have no problem so far with the movement.

The casting movement is not very agressive (less than a golf swing for example) and I guess that the caliber is strong enough to handle it... (or I hope so :eek:)
