shultz Posted September 25, 2009 Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 I am already owning an "ultimate" (V3 or V4?) DSSD and as far as I can judge it is recommended to seal the "He valve" with epoxy as shown by gioarmani to avoid damage by water. As I am considering the purchase of ET's V5 I would like to know if the He valve of the V5 is a reliable and working one. Or should I go for an epoxy seal as well?

Guest avitt Posted September 25, 2009 Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 I'm pretty sure that you can easily tell by pressing on the HeV from the outside of the watch. If it presses into the case, then it's incorrect (operates backwards, and would let water into the case), and should be cemented in place.

Jkay Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 The Zigmeister told me that my V5 hev was epoxied from the factory. *shrug* ... your mileage may vary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you order from ET? Which movement did you go for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gioarmani Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 Easiest way to tell is by looking; if it's not sealed, seal it. Always err on the side of caution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jkay Posted September 29, 2009 Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 Did you order from ET? Which movement did you go for? Yes, I think the real V5 only comes from ETz ... and I have the gen ETA in there. As Gio says, check for epoxy. Don't trust that it's in there.
