I have about 5,000km on mine and have been riding through quite some shitstorms as well.
Bearings are going as new, but admittedly I don't really think this reflects any special qualities after just two months of riding. For bearing life it is much worse when only riding once in a while, putting the bike away when wet in hot cellar or anything, not when using it on a daily basis.
I will swap the bearings to CS Coated ones next week or the week after and can then judge on the condition of the removed bearings.
Just for the record: The rear rim of the A.54 accumulated tons of water during a super rainy ride. It has a drain hole on the side but I never had such an amount of water on any wheel ever. The front did not have a single drop at the same time. Managed to remove the water through the drain hole on the side of the rim without removing tire or tape.
