How Waterproof is MBW ?

[sjedwardz]

Looking at getting a 1665 from Luckyyy but wanted to check how waterproof the MBW watches are? Don't expect to go to the depths of a real sea dweller! Shower and the odd paddle will do!

Any comments?

I have a new MBW 1680. Regardless of what you get, you MUST check the oring seal inside the caseback and make sure it is.... THERE.... and properly lubricated. Sometimes the factories actually forget to put them on. In my case the watch has held up perfectly... i swim several times a week, wear in steam room, wore it skiing at neg10-20F and not had any problem.
