Muddyape Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 Hi, new to the world of reps. Ive been in touch with BK the past few days and have decided to send payment to purchase a DSSD from him. My only question is, is it recommended to have him seal the HRV and pressure test it. With this watch my only real issue is how wet can it get it? Obviously diving is not in the cards but i dont want it getting screwed up. Im an LEO so i dont wear anything nice to work but when im home or banging around id be wearing the DSSD. Sold all my gens last year be ause of lack of interest. Just looking for a quality casual watch and i think this will fit the bill. Any help would be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danielv2000 Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 If you plan on swimming, you should always pressure test it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jkay Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 The modder/watch tech named "Vaccum" on this forum will pressure test your watch to 10ATM for 40 bucks. Great insurance. Quality replicas of diver watches can be perfectly waterproof. Just dont blindly trust them to be so. every replica is a unique case. What if the guy who built your watch made 100 reps that day, and left a gasket out of 3 of those by accident. you get one of those three. Whoops. Dont pay mind to the big ballers who say you can't snorkel with a rep. Hell, those guys say you can't even dive with a gen Submariner. No enough depth rating!

mikellem Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 You need to ask BK what he is exactly doing on your watch, so you both have common ground! MM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Altho I respect BK for his dedication, skill and honesty, I can not speak for him regarding what he does and does NOT do to his watches. I do not think he pressure tests them. I do not know for certain. You need to ask him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
horn34 Posted April 1, 2012 Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 I just asked BK about this and he says he does pressure testing up to 3 ATM for $30. I assume that's for his watches only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
