tenacious_b Posted February 1, 2007 Report Share Posted February 1, 2007 My buddy and I wore my asian and swiss PO's to the gym tonight, and after our workout, hit the hot tub and pool. Both are Salt Water, and the pool is very cold and the hot tub is 105 degrees. Well, we went back and forth pool to hot tub and on and on probably 5 times over the course of an hour. That was 4 hours ago, and they are both tight as a drum and dry as a bone. Both are also keep damn accurate time. I only gained a minute over the period of 4 weeks. By the way, Andrew has been a dream to deal with. Cheers! Bryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watchmeister Posted February 1, 2007 Report Share Posted February 1, 2007 Congrats on a good test. I have found out the hard way that the ultimate test is not swimming or showering but rather taking it into a steam room. I had one rep that I had taken swimming numerous times but the minute I left it on in a steam shower I had moisture all over the dial. Of course my solution of sticking it in a toaster at modest temperatures did not work out to well either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good Lord, steam rooms, toasters...you guys are worse than John Cameron Swayze and the Timex torture tests. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least that was what the watchmaker told me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bryan Decided to give the bracelet of my asian SMP (also bought from Andrew - Top Bloke !) a bit of a scrub under the tap and splashed a little water on the crystal and the back - the inside of the crystal steamed up a few minutes after I had dried the outside !! A few minutes on a hot radiator soon sorted it out but I won't be doing that again in a hurry !! Since then, I am terrified of going anywhere near water with any of my reps !!

flavor flav Posted February 4, 2007 Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 every watch i ever owned gen and rep gets washed under hot water and dish soap after every days use and i've never leaked a drop inside any. as for the steam room and the toaster... i'm shocked your crystal did not pop out of the case!

thealphabeta Posted February 4, 2007 Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 Toaster ha ha brilliant. The radiator is always a trusty way to do it. Reminds me of my student days when i came home a little worse for wear one night. I must have checked a message on my phone in the night....woke up in the morning to see it submerged in a pint of water. Needless to say i was quite horrified, i took it apart, put it on the radiator for a day and it turned straight back on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
