Watch clean and waterproof

[Guest messinapete]

Hello all,

I don’t know if I’m in the correct place to post, However I have a Rolex Daytona Cosmograph, Maybe a AAA but don’t know for sure as I’ve only had it 8 weeks.

 

I would like one of the people that can waterproof for general swimming within 3 weeks.

 

Any suggestions on whom and a ‘Guesstamate’ on what I could expect to pay?

Thanks

Personally, I’d not try and waterproof a Daytona rep. If you want to swim with a rep watch then start with a divers rep, such as a Submariner etc. There are people on the forum that can waterproof them too. Have a look in the modders section.

Thank you Kernow,

purchased from ‘Dtime’ Noob 1.1 Etc, $658.00 ad for this watch says ‘30-50’ mtrs, Not that I go that deep, Just general swimming.

 

To Confirm waterproofing I wrote and the reply was at 20-30 mtrs No problem.

I believe Dtime is a reputable company and would have no need to mislead.

 

Do you think I should still be wary?

Personally I don't swim with any of my watches, even waterproofed. I had an Omega Seamaster Pro gen which was waterproved by Omega Service center with a service but it got water coming in...It was under warranty but chronographs are very sensitive to the slightest bump on one of the pushers or crown, it can cause a bent stem or pusher which results in not watertight.

To echo my friends I'd stay away from the water w/ any rep especially a chrono that is asking for trouble big time. I carry a gen w/ at least a 200meter ISO diver rating for my water activities on holiday, you can get a Seiko for cheap that is rated as such and it will most likely run forever or go Citizen even cheaper same rating.
