Just thought I'd write a few comments about my current rep collection. Was off on holiday this week and wanted to take a watch or two with me. Anticipated being in the pool and the sea so took them down to my local watchsmith. It's a small shop and he said he could only pressure test them to 50 meters, which was good enough for me.
Watches that passed:
Omega CrPo (from toro)
IWC spitfire (toro)
Pam 088 (timeshops)
Breitling super avenger (timeshops)
These passed without anything more than a bit of greasing around the crown needed. Watch guy was really impressed with the build quality and even asked about the forum and dealers I used. Showed me a crappy Rolex rep he'd just bought for £50. Needless to say he felt a bit silly after seeing my collection.
A few watches didn't pass but the surprise for me was that the pam092 submersible failed. I thought that, of all of them, this might have passed.
Anyhoo, was mightily impressed to have so many watched to choose from. Ended up taking the CrPo
