Hey guys I am currently looking for either a Chronomat or Superocean Chrono. I have a few concerns that I was wondering if anyone could help me with. I work in a restaurant/pizzeria and work with a lot of flour. I am concerned if there is any chance that the flour would be able to work itself inside the watch casing and somehow screw up the watch. I know it sounds crazy but the stuff really has a way or working itself into places you would never imagine. Anyone have any idea if this would be a problem? Thanks for your help.

If water can't get in, then neither should flour. That said, you are going to be cleaning your watch quite a bit... better get something you don't mind sticking under a faucet to clean a lot ;)

This is why I was leaning toward the Superocean Chrono, I think it is a bit more of an everyday watch than the Chronomat.

You should be fine with a Chronomat as well. They are rated to 1000ft... just stay away from the pushers ;)

I agree completely. :)

If you don't mess with the crown or the pushers neither in flour nor water you should be fine.
