word on the street is
the 2012 has a drain of 55uA (selbuilt)
the 2019 has a drain of 27uA (djozz)
the 2020 switched on, dial at minimum has a drain of:
.
you might not want a rotary light then
I fondle my dial all the time. That is what I love about it.
If you want the dial to be guaranteed to stay where you left it the last time you used it, plan on upgrading the grease in the dial to Nyogel 767a
with that being said, Ive never had a rotary dial turn in my pocket… but I would hate for you to be disappointed…
I haven’t had a problem with any of the rotary’s turning on accidently but I guess with the right force its possible.
If you dont like the thought of a possible accidently activation then Sunwayman rotary’s might be your cup of tea. They only come on if the tail switch is pushed and the dial stays where ever it was when you turned it off by pressing the switch button. They are hard to find now a days but a used one pops up ever now and then. I think the V11R is still around for sale in a few places. The V10R Ti is quite nice but rare.
Its my least favorite part. It supposedely unscrews but I haven’t been able to break one free yet.
I know I can get it out but it would require shall we say “Unconventional methods”. :smiling_imp:

I had forgot about the new one. That be a option also.
Custom made by a British machinist, to my specs. You may not want to get them once you hear the price. And he may not want to do them again
Hand made by the way, not on CNC. Perfect precision and tolerances. The trits fit quite snuggly, they don’t swim around and need to be centred like commercial trit buttons.
Keep in mind that I will never actually be able to see both the Timasus pattern and the tritium colours at the same time, as it requires both natural an UV light at the same time to take these pictures, so it will be timascus with white vials in the light and glowing vials in the dark.
