jdkno Posted July 28, 2009 Report Posted July 28, 2009 Has anyone put this to the test on an out of the box Davidsen Pam? I know 3 atm is not that much but should be good enough for swimming.
Guest HaloArchive Posted July 28, 2009 Report Posted July 28, 2009 If he guarantees it, Id say it would b fine then. Just don't wear a leather strap into the water >.> at least not a nice one.
turboGUATE Posted July 30, 2009 Report Posted July 30, 2009 I wouldn't recommend it. But if you must, please be sure to grease the seals with a trusted watchsmith. Cheers!
im2 Posted August 10, 2009 Report Posted August 10, 2009 I tested it, confirmed. I also dived wit ith, twice @ 15-18 meters deep. It was a DSN 111h ultimate. Now it is sold ...

I am not so sure about it. I used my watch during the bath and steam get inside. I would not recommend to take your watch for water activities. I use my g shocks for that.
asf Posted August 12, 2009 Report Posted August 12, 2009 I wouldn't recommend it. But if you must, please be sure to grease the seals with a trusted watchsmith. Cheers! I'd definately do that first!
trailboss Posted August 12, 2009 Report Posted August 12, 2009 Yep, whilst in fact most reps are indeed water proof to at least 3 or 4 ATM and those that arn't can usualy be made so (with the exception of some dress watches)ALLWAYS have them tested first. Never even spit on an untested watch, rep or gen. Col.
jdkno Posted August 12, 2009 Author Report Posted August 12, 2009 Yeah that what I thought. My problem is finding a watchsmith that will test it for me.
Drulee Posted September 2, 2009 Report Posted September 2, 2009 Definitely get it tested first. I know that David says his watches are tested to 3ATM. But I've opened three of them that I received this past month, and two out of three did not have any silicone on the gaskets. And one of those had a gasket which had been squashed by the case back.
zesh Posted September 5, 2009 Report Posted September 5, 2009 [My Dsn 177 steamed after a couple of trips to the pool, not the same watch anymore, reliability has gone out the window. Like watching a deteriorating patient. Don't bother.Please
hiker01 Posted September 5, 2009 Report Posted September 5, 2009 Water tester? build this: Do a search for the instruction! I use all my reps in the water, except the Breitling Navis!!! The PAMS are next to the Rolexes that are easy to water resist, although I won't trust the Daytonas! My AP ROOs and Chopard MM have passed the 10 ATM test after I greased all the rubber parts!
asf Posted September 6, 2009 Report Posted September 6, 2009 I got my 111 back from DSN today and it survived the deep end of my pool which is all I really care for. he replaced a missing gasket at the crown.
Drulee Posted September 6, 2009 Report Posted September 6, 2009 Chronographs usually aren't water safe, as gaskets aren't put on the pushers.
