lloyd Posted July 4, 2012 Report Posted July 4, 2012 I have been diving with my Marathon SARS, Omega SM300s, Rolex 5513, 1680, 16800, Seiko and Casio. If it is dive rated, I dive with it. I really buy mainly dive watches though. I started with my Clinton dive watch my mom bought me for Christmas as a teenager. I still have that watch with the box and papers. No diving now though for it even though I just changed the o-rings.
InDenial Posted July 4, 2012 Report Posted July 4, 2012 Right now, only my Protrek gets water time: But my goal is to get nice rep dive watch and get it tested so that it can take over that duty .
indywatchguy Posted September 2, 2012 Report Posted September 2, 2012 I dive in my PAM212, PAM286, PAM177, PAM90, Custom Rolex Submariner 42mm, Rolex Swiss Deep Sea, and my 50th Anniversary Green Dial Sub. All have worked perfectly!
indywatchguy Posted September 2, 2012 Report Posted September 2, 2012 Oh yeah forgot to mention my I swim and snorkel in my Omega 007 seamaster 2004 and 2006 models from watchcartel.
Gw4k Posted September 2, 2012 Report Posted September 2, 2012 My noobmariner/ classic sd are my go to.
Watchmeister Posted September 2, 2012 Report Posted September 2, 2012 I always pick one or two "swimmers" for the Summer. This year it is a 170 on bracelet and the Hublot Diver. The dial is so big on that Hublot you can read it underwater without goggles. The one thing you have to be careful withis the rubber piece on the setting crown. The glue the factory uses to sit it in the crown inevitably unsticks. I got lucky and it fell off outside the water. Say hello to crazy glue.
maxman Posted September 2, 2012 Report Posted September 2, 2012 I always like to make sure everything is nice and tight and well lubed before I get It wet. Yes...the same set of principles applies to my watches. Mike 1
P4GTR Posted September 2, 2012 Report Posted September 2, 2012 My noob sub and GMT IIc, as well as my original swissfish all go swimming with me.
gmtlover Posted September 2, 2012 Report Posted September 2, 2012 My BK DSSD did a lot of swimming and showering. Never had a problem. Now waiting on my iwc top gun to arrive, but as they say don't swim with chrono's so I won't!!
panerai153 Posted September 2, 2012 Report Posted September 2, 2012 I swim and scuba with my Ocean7 -LM7 Ploprof,and my MKII Kingston and Stingray,I swim with my Genuine Rolex 16610, my rep 168,my Tudor Snowflake (gen), and my 1665 DRSD (at least I did until I cracked the crystal!! I have a tester at home that will go to 7 atmos, so all mine get tested B4 swimming or diving. When I got the tester, I checked all my rep watches, and most that were designed for water passed, but a puretime 1680 Red, failed, and a cheap SD also failed. Two PAM's failed (one was a submersible!) and a couple of dressier watches also failed. All my genuine sport watches passed.+ Watches I swim and Dive with Ocean7- LM7 MKII kingston MKII Stingray 1
icoopernicus Posted September 2, 2012 Report Posted September 2, 2012 Any dive rep goes in the water with me, after a quick home test first of course. The only chrono that goes in the water is my Gen Seiko sportura with screw in crown on a rubber strap. And of course my cheapo Invicta gets plenty of splash time.
