ranisavage Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 (edited) I purchased this watch a while ago and i wear it soo often. It's an amazing rep and just looks plain badass in the PVD coating. I bought it purposely to use and abuse it, swim with it play sports, etc..... but i still have not got the courage to try yet. The case is still mint and the PVD coating has held up perfectly. I somehow scratched the rubber band and gave it a scuff mark but it's alright. But yes has anyone tested the water proofness of theirs? And for this thread is useless without pictures here are some shots of it.

its_urabus Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 beauty or a watch. dealers say its 30 meters resistant, which means you can wash your hands with it. I haven't gotten mine wet yet, but I am trying to get it tested, I will post when I do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ranisavage Posted July 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 If there are any mods that can lock this case up tighter than a _________ let me know. Maybe seal up the helium valve with epoxy and make sure o-rings and front bezel seals are good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparty Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 Do the 02s have a screw down crown? I know the 03's don't. I would imagine they can be made to be waterproof very easy. In my experience, even your local jeweler can do a pressure test and even waterproof it for cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tick123 Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 when I had mind it was waterproof out of the box; I showered, swam, and ran with it without a problem. This watch is meant to be abused! But, for piece of mind, I suggest you go to your local watch smith and have him pressure test it and seal any leaks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alant Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 Nice watch there! Just curious as I'm not a B&R fan, may I know which is the best version out there now other than the same model having different types of movt? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ranisavage Posted July 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 The version with the clone eta 2824 movement is the best version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
