gioarmani Posted September 23, 2006 Report Share Posted September 23, 2006 Anyone know where to get used/refurb waterproof testers like this one from Bergeon?: http://www.jewelerssupplies.com/bergeon-wa...oof-tester.html Another brand, or at least something cheaper than 400? Another question: I read an article that stated testing to 3ATM still wasn't safe for swimming (they recommened nothing short of 5), but this seemed like BS... if 3 bars=100ft, and most people don't go deeper than 6 to 8 in their pool, is 3 actually safe?

It's the difference between static pressure and dynamic pressure. To be rated for scuba diving per ISO Standards a watch needs to be 200m water resistant. Very, very few scuba divers go down to 660 feet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
offshore Posted September 23, 2006 Report Share Posted September 23, 2006 I picked up a Mido tester off the'bay for $40, and spent another $100 getting all the seals/valves done. Works great. May I suggest you contact some of the tool guys, there are a few in our "Links" section. See what they currently have. Offshore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a Bergeron just like the one in the photo. I don't have the box, but it is brand new and never used. I would sell it for $300.

gioarmani Posted September 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2006 Perfect. I've got one guy in China getting back to me with a price in October--if you'll still have it in a couple of weeks, I'll prob get yours.
