    let's stay in touch! I will do a new bunch of dials for my seiko customs in the next weeks and will post some pics and videos, then!
    what are the real vintage gilt dials made of? bras plate with black coating and real gold printing color, I guess?!
    no Problem to reproduce, but I need a good vector eps to deal with!

    my last dive with my modded steinhart ocen one vintage. with a gen rolex 700 crone and tube installed, it is now fully waterproof for 10-20 meters!

    tested for two weeks with every day diving, i think it's also a good choice beside my skx007 and big tuna ...

    There are actually two ISO standards for watches. A water-resistance standard and a diver's watch standard. These are different. A watch that has a water resistance rating of 100m is NOT suitable for skin diving while a diver's watch rated at 100m is. So if your Seiko says "Diver's 100m" it is suitable for skin diving. Usually a contemporary diver's watch will have a depth rating of at least 200m however. Now saturation diving that's another story.  


    yeah, correct!
    two standards, but total confusion!
    my seikos are also 150-300m depthrate, and i dive with them - no problem! but i will not shower with my noob dssd V6S, even if it's stated more than 1000 meters!
    it depends on the watch!

    Actually it has quietly amused me for years listening to all the arm chair enthusiasts comparing depth ratings. My Seiko with 100 metres is a bit limp. A real dive watch is at least 200 metres! 300 metres? 2000 metres. Deepsea is the only way to go?

    Well my PADI open water cert covers me to...... Wait for it.........18 metres! Yes ladies at more than 200 metres I have much bigger problems than worrying if my watch is still ticking


    hi, your right, but not correct!
    up to 5atm~5 m deep rate means: no water at all!
    5atm up to 10 atm ~ 10m means: you can Shower with it!
    10atm up to 50 atm ~ 50m means: you can swim with it!
    50atm up to 100atm ~ 100m means: you can dive up to 5m deep, not more!!!
    150atm up to 300 atm - 300m means: you can dive up to 25m deep!
    there is s big missunderstanding in the depthrates - laboratory conditions are never the same than scubadiving in open water! trust my, i'am a diver myselfe! for a propper divers watch, you need at least 300m up to 1000m...
