TIMEXMen's T40051 Expedition Metal Field Brown Leather Strap Watch

Is it OK to wet the leather strap? I mean, if it's an outdoor watch, it can get wet anytime. Does the strap not get ruined?

How many holes are in the strap? For a guy, I basically have a woman's small wrist, and would need it to have 7-8 holes for a good fit.

does it tick loudly?

Sometimes Amazone makes misprints. Is thre crystal acrylic or actually.mineral?
