Guest rg21044 Posted July 21, 2013 Report Share Posted July 21, 2013 I realize that a truly waterproof rep is as rare as a unicorn, but does anyone have any experience with a particular vendor that they could share? I don't want to dive to the Attocha with it, just regular dips in the backyard pool. Thanks in advance for your help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

entertainmentrubbish Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 My v3.5 from Toros was good enough for swimming. I asked and he said it was waterproofed from factory. Its a Noob factory watch I think. Only issue was the bezel screws were flush with the bezel and not recessed like the ori. Otherwise, great watch.

FxrAndy Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 The only issue with waterproofing on reps is the quality control, many of them may be but you won't know for sure unless you check it!Or you don't check it and it fails then you know.But I would not say they are rare Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eiderdaus Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 Had problems with my modded diver, was not waterproof in 5 minutes pool action. Movement had issues afterwards, sent this back to modder and finally its completely dead. I just ordered now a st2130 to replace the A2824-2, will see if this will be waterproof afterwards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
