It's been 2 years now. The only thing I have observed is that when you swim with this on a pool with chlorine or salt, you get white deposits on the surface (but it can be cleaned afterwards).
Maybe a stock caseback from the other reps/homages might fit.
If you need the diameter of the thread, let me know.

On the pool, it's the chlorine and other stuff (dead skin and kid pee

)
The surface looks okay after cleaning it. I would say that happens because the surface material is porous (but not permeable).
I would say
