wilson10164 Posted March 9, 2013 Report Posted March 9, 2013 Hello People of RWG! Became a member just under a month ago and have been lurking, reading and learning a whole bunch of stuff and of course staring at a lot of pretty watches. After perusing the forums and the trusted dealers websites i decided on the Yellow faced Seawolf and a Black faced Transocean. Purchased these watches from Perfect Clones and I am very super duper happy! Ordered them on Thursday 28th of Feb and they arrived yesterday 8th of March! here are the links to the watches. http://www.1-pc8838.com/blsw00008s-seawolf-ssss-p-12529.html http://www.1-pc8838.com/blt10007m-transocean-chrono-ssss-black-os20-p-12130.html Anyway... thought I should share some photos with you guys.

martijnp Posted March 9, 2013 Report Posted March 9, 2013 Great first purchase! Enjoy the watches and wear them well!
derik429 Posted March 9, 2013 Report Posted March 9, 2013 Love the yellow avenger! I think its my next purchase..How do you like it?
wilson10164 Posted March 10, 2013 Author Report Posted March 10, 2013 I absolutely love it ! so glad I picked it over a more standard colour version (black or grey) also on another note they claim it to be waterproof to 30m on the website am i safe to take the seawolf in the water or should i just not risk it?
derik429 Posted March 10, 2013 Report Posted March 10, 2013 I recently picked up the Superocean 44 and I decided to test it in water (took some balls) I filled up my sink and placed it at the bottom and it still worked! But, to be honest, I wont be trying that again lol
Mike on a bike Posted March 10, 2013 Report Posted March 10, 2013 No not safe, sink is one thing start moving around in water...............................
Mike on a bike Posted March 10, 2013 Report Posted March 10, 2013 Wilson been thinking about the Transocean that mesh long ?
derik429 Posted March 10, 2013 Report Posted March 10, 2013 No not safe, sink is one thing start moving around in water............................... I had moved it around in the sink and it was fine, but like I said, its not something I'm willing to keep trying..
wilson10164 Posted March 10, 2013 Author Report Posted March 10, 2013 (edited) Well I had to have 2 of the links taken out and then the band is also attached to the shortest pin hole on the clasp. my wrists are i want to say 6 and half inches something like that? maybe a tad more, and each link is a bit over half and inch so including the pin part probably can go up to 8.5 inches? does that help? probably not ok, wont be risking it with the water thanks guys Edited March 10, 2013 by wilson10164
Mike on a bike Posted March 10, 2013 Report Posted March 10, 2013 Yes thank you, 8.25 so I will need it all. if I get caught may bother you for a link!
wilson10164 Posted March 10, 2013 Author Report Posted March 10, 2013 you have mighty wrists! haha. I think martijnp has a transocean as well? so perhaps he can chime in on the length of the band I don't want you purchase it and then have it not fit on my information.
Mike on a bike Posted March 10, 2013 Report Posted March 10, 2013 He did just being overly cautious, worse thing buy a watch can not wear!
sgtguk Posted March 10, 2013 Report Posted March 10, 2013 Gotta say that's a great couple pieces you have bought both of which I really like, enjoy them mate ! He did just being overly cautious, worse thing buy a watch can not wear! Get it bought Mike it's a lovely piece !
indywatchguy Posted March 14, 2013 Report Posted March 14, 2013 Derek the Seawolf will be fine in water just make sure the case back and crown are tight. I also have one and its water tight from the factory. Guys tend to be paranoid about the whole water resistance of reps. Every rep I've bought has been water tight right out the box minus tightening down the case back. I buy all my reps from Andrew at trusty time and if it says pressure tested it is. If its not Andrew will cover it but only if its a seal failure not user error ie open crown or loose case back. I know many members would disagree with me but you cant argue with results. i take all my reps snorkeling and diving to 25ft with zero issues. Enjoy to the max my friend and come on in the waters fine.
StormTooper4 Posted March 14, 2013 Report Posted March 14, 2013 Swam a 1k in the ocean yesterday in my wolf , and it regularly hits the pool , no probs so far
bamcky2k Posted March 14, 2013 Report Posted March 14, 2013 i had my rep seawolf pressure tested locally last year, passed the max the little machine could go to which was 100m (10atm), so no probs there...it was a great watch and i kinda regret selling it...
indywatchguy Posted March 14, 2013 Report Posted March 14, 2013 BAM it is a great watch....put it back on the short list brother! I'll never part with mine!
