kbh Posted November 4, 2014 Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 I grew up in South Florida back in the 70's and 80's when the "Cocaine Cowboys" ran the place. There's not much I haven't seem when it comes to contraband importation. Maybe that's why I'm drawn to counterfeit watches.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GenTLe Posted November 4, 2014 Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 (edited) Now i need more help wanna waterproof my own watch Any guides somewhere how to proceed in doing so Totally a noob on waterproofing The machine works this way: the watch is lifted in a closed volume where also water is present. You slowly put pressure (3, 5, 10 atm for 30, 50 or 100m) in it and wait some 20 minutes. Then put the watch into water and very slowly you release the pressure. If you see bubbles coming out from the watch than it is not waterproof and you also see where to work on. You can build the machine if you are good with tools and have experience.

kbh Posted November 5, 2014 Report Share Posted November 5, 2014 The easiest and first option is to use a crystal press and some pressure and make sure the crystal and gasket was all the way seated. The correct way is to replace the gasket and re seat the crystal. The incorrect way is to use Ultra violet crystal glue and re seat the crystal with the existing gasket. Usually works but can get messy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
