lja1821 Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 Thinking about purchasing one of tc latest lv subs and wanted to know if they are water proof or not? I already have talked to tc about order and wanted some input from any owners out there. Any info is greatly appreciated.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pamluver80 Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 I have owned 4 of TC watches. I swam with all of them...NEVER a problem. I did recently send my YM off to PB for water proof testing and sealing/greasing gaskets. With any other rep watch, get it tested before entering water. I dont think its as hydrophobic as a non gen construction watch but there still is a risk of ruining your time piece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeJay Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 I received a budget GMT today. I made sure the back was secure, made sure the crystal was firmly seated, and made sure the crown was securely closed after setting the time, then held my wrist under a faucet at full force No issue whatsoever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FxrAndy Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 The water resistance with reps is generaly assebly not material or construction I am about to get in a hot tub wearing a rep but i built it so i am the one to blame if it fails, and i belive with TC subs you build them your self?

correctime Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 (edited) My TC spent an entire day going in and out of water from the faucet to 6' under. No issues what-so-ever...though I did install a gen crown/tube with greased gen seals and a gen crystal so the case back and retaining ring gaskets were freshly greased by me too.
