YM40 on Vacation: 116622 + Sand = ?
I am headed to the beach for a few days, but would like to know how PCLs and the rotating, platinum bezel handle sand? I'm not concerned about swimming, as the watch does laps with me at the pool, but am not sure what sand may do. If just more of the swirls the watch is going to get anyway, fine. But should I expect more/different? I can take an OP39 instead. Thanks for your thoughts, in advance!
