Ronin Posted June 9, 2010 Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 MBW's seem to pretty solid in this area. My MBW 5513 just passed a pressure test to 100ft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FxrAndy Posted June 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 I have an elma leak checker so i have a bit of peace of mind before i swim. I would only say it is good for 50m WR testing but that is fine for what i do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cornerstone Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 Awesome little video I would not call it diving the pool is only 1m deep Probably deeper than many gen DSSD's reach All part of the fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FxrAndy Posted June 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 No film this time but i have just had a hard session of PT in the pool, a good 80min of hard work out and the 1680 is fine I build a 1665 MBW for Saso in the past,he tested it on a local watchsmith up to 300m all this talk above has me thinking about the construction of MBWs they are made with the same design and assuming it is 316ss the same material now would they pass the dial depth if put together properly?? who can test to 660ft or 2000ft????????

FxrAndy Posted June 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2010 I dont see why people think reps cant be water resistant, as long as the correct gaskets are in place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UT Horn Posted June 18, 2010 Report Share Posted June 18, 2010 I dont see why people think reps cant be water resistant, as long as the correct gaskets are in place I just took my new MBW 1665 into the pool last night. I only went down about 7', but no problems at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hiker01 Posted June 18, 2010 Report Share Posted June 18, 2010 Almost all my SUBS, Explorer, GMTs, SDs and Pam Pre-As, Pre-Vs, Marina's and AP ROOs sec@12 passed their 10ATM test! I took my Safari Diving to 100ft last year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
