mine works fine

Not a BK Sub-C but just the regular ole' Noob version was water resistant for me down to 22ft and in many showers.... I usually test all my reps by shower/pool/lake/ocean after I've simply greased the seals and o-rings and I've never had one fail yet....Lucky I guess? My newest SD went to the local watch shop and passed a 10ATM W/R test with flying colors and I haven't greased anything on it yet.... The newest subs/SD's are getting pretty good IMO with their overall case construction.

My bk watches get wet all the time

Both with the classic noob and the noob gmt ii c, which is the same case as the noob sub c. I've never had any trouble with any of them. Just make sure the crystal is pressed, case back closed and the gaskets greased.

And crown screwed down tight

mine is fine too, i have been right down the the bottom of a 50 meter deep swimming pool with my bk sub c black and i didn't grease it or anything (because i don't know how :-p) go for it !

Not a BK, but I've seldom had issues with reps and water Even my budget 16610 was fine, until I unscrewed the back and must've crimped the gasket I'm sure you'll have no issues

Same here. Mine are all from BK and none have failed me yet

(and yes....I swam with the BK Sub-C when I had it...no worries.

BK tests his watches to 3ATM if you pay extra $30 ... Vaccum tests to 10ATM for $40

I'm sure there are other modders out there with a testing chamber.

i have the non sub-c and the sub-c one of the noob. i do take them to swim and shower. the watch never leaves my wrist

Sub C from BK. I surf with it and no problem...

My BK sub c and DSSD both have seen a lot of pool time and ocean time, both solid, no issues!

I have used my BK to swim with and it's absolutely fine but I swim with most of my reps I just make sure they are greased and sealed and not had a problem so far.....

High quality replicas of divers watches ***should be*** waterproof, but always check!!! Do not trust them to be, since a QC error can ruin the water tight properties.

They are supposed to be waterproof .. bad QC means maybe they are not. Check!

These are not cheap canal street replicas. they use genuine style construction. they should be waterproof .. but check.
