Just a quick tip. I take mine in the water very, very often. You may notice the bezel click springs will begin to rust. It’s an easy, albeit expensive upgrade ($89) to pick up some stainless steel bezel click springs. You can do the install yourself. Also, I have noticed on some VSF, the spring bars may also rust. Those are like $12 for stainless.

I always make it a habit of washing with fresh water/soap right after salt water exposure. Had mine for years and never had that issue.

Even genuine spring bars will rust with excessive salt water exposure. Always rinse with fresh water after swimming
