For some reason, there is a lot of interest in this now on TS. The first member that sends me a PM stating they want it for sure and PayPaling me the $ as a gift gets it.

Here is the email address:

Thank you. I am looking forward to receiving it.

A few questions about the M16;

It does not have a screw down crown, but states it is 100m water resistant. Did you find that to be the case?

The slava movement is supposed to be 80 hour power reserve. Does it auto-wind when you wear it? or do you have to wind it yourself? How long does the power reserve last in your experiences with it?

Is the face blue? or black? or somewhere in between? I love it with either a blue or black face, just curious.

Thank you again.

BigE,

I numbered your questions so that you would know exactly what I was referring to.

1-It does not have a screw down, but I have worn this watch in the ocean and multiple times in the swimming pool. It has a double gasket inside of the crown (I am pretty sure it is double), and I have never had an issue with water getting inside of it, or my previous M16's and M17's that I owned. I would say that the water resistance is good to 100m; if you plan on actually doing some diving with it, you should be fine.

2-When I am in the US, I manually would the watch every day, so I never really had a chance to check the power reserve on it. It was either on my wrist or in my watch box, but I do know that it kept time just as well as my Rolex or Breitling did. I do remember winding it on a Friday morning, going away for the weekend, and when I got back Sunday night, I put the watch I wore on the trip back in the box and the M16 was still ticking away. So, that is about 60+ hours for sure that it lasted.

3-The face is definitely black. It takes on a blue hue because of the AR coating on the crystal, but it is black.

I hope that I answered your questions in enough detail, and I know that you will like the watch. And no need to thank me brother; thank you.
