I do on all my watches with rotating bezels......I use All-in-1 oil! I put 2 drops in each lug side and rotate it until you fell it getting smooth, then let soak for 30 mins or so..... Or you could deep fry in Chinese Sesame Seed Oil!.....

Just let me know, Brahh!

Strange.......those Chinese REPREICATS! I know, I know, Iknow.......but I have an old one that I don't use anymore! And he thinks he's got a GEN, ha.....got ya.......REPRECATS AT THEIR BEST!

Lani, I could cover Central Time, Tue.-Thurs.....next week (I'll be in Austin all week for a conference week after next) from 7:30AM to 4PM! If that would work, let me know! I could cover again starting April 5 if still needed! Hike "F"

Ain't that amazing! I wonder if all Deepsea are like this??????? I could just picture everyone, checking there's out! Olala! BTW: When are you coming to Chicago? PM me when you get here and have the time, I'll buy you your first Chicago Mexican Food! Cheers!

Go to Offrei and get the Speed Lubricator: DC #7 Silicone Grease, Part# 2.5-747

My 113 on Blue Elephant from Panatime: On a brown Shark: On a Honey Ostrich: or you could go all white with Rubber (no pun intended):

I was browsing over @RWI and came across this posting from mucrewbtp: http://replica-watch.info/phpBB3/viewtopic...=59&t=40510 and I thought, uhmmmmmmm, maybe I could do this? Well, I tried and here's how it went: I won't elaborate too much as it is already covered by mucrewbtp.....but the basics: - build the pressure tester out of a Nalgene Water bottle and a Tire Valve stem. - have a tire air pump (I used a car battery operated version). - fill the pressure tester with 400 CC of water. - pump it with 85psi of pressure. Verbatim instructions: "6.) Pump up the canister while listening for leaks. As the pressure increases the lid will become slightly domed. As this slightly changes the shape of the sealing surface, it is necessary to tweak the lid tighter a few times while increasing the pressure. A very minor tightening will quickly re-seal the lid. I pressurized this test to 85 PSI, which is about 5.8 ATM." The air pump and my own version of the Pressure Tester: The DeepSea strapped/taped inside: The pressure pump to 75psi.....and going..... Pump @76psi and Tester, DeepSea now covered with water and pressure being slowly released: The results: DeepSea out of the box: After the pressure got down to about 30psi, bubbles started coming out from the back, I assumed that this was probably due to ungreased o-ring (I made sure everything was tight before I did the test!), So I stopped and let the tester back to standing position (water away from the watch!). I proceded to open the watch to check and found some moisture between the external or outside caseback and the titanium/middle caseback although there was no further penetration! The o-ring was dry...... Minor mods: - Greased case back o-ring, tube o-ring and crown! And since I have the bracelet off, I oiled it with All-in-1! BTW: Can anyone confirm that this is a real Swiss ETA? Different angle: and another strange thing (see if you notice something different on this picture?): Is this suppose to be printed like this? AnyHo! I Assembled the watch and repeated the process all over and this time, it passed! I really am not sure how deep can this go, but if I follow the theory of mucrewbtp, thats about 160-180ft! Sounds good enough for me! I don't go that deep anyway! Thanks for reading and I hope someone could chime in about the movement and that strange printing on the lug @12 side! Cheers, Hike!

She sure is very pretty! You should be very proud! Congrats, Jeff!!!! Hike
