slay Posted April 16, 2006 Report Posted April 16, 2006 i was at a spa today with the girl and wore my PT LV Sub... and it was waterproof! even survived brine-water! i was impressed i know taking it into the brine was stupid, but i didnt know it was brine until i was in there... didnt spend much time in there anyways and went into regular water 10mins later! i'm still afraid to try if my pam's are waterproof... probably they arnt... i dont really trust anything besides screw down crowns... and watches without pushers!
Finepics Posted April 16, 2006 Report Posted April 16, 2006 All the PAM's have waterproofing the same as any normal watch as they use standard watchmaking principles in the reps. It would need to be checked before going swimming as I have seen a couple where an O ring has been damaged and lessening the proofing. All casebacks are watertight and the stems have seals in the crowns and in the crown tube.

coolfire Posted April 16, 2006 Report Posted April 16, 2006 Thanks for the info! Yeah, i second that!
mossanti Posted April 16, 2006 Report Posted April 16, 2006 The important thing is to check your watch before you jump into the water
JWR Posted April 16, 2006 Report Posted April 16, 2006 What about on PAM chronos? I feel like the pushers aren't watertight...
slay Posted April 17, 2006 Author Report Posted April 17, 2006 well my pam is a very old 111h (spelling on movement is upside down) i bought it a LONG time ago from yellomen, thats why i was unsure about it! and my fiddy is asian-unitas and i dont trust those cheap 100$ reps
swdivad Posted April 17, 2006 Report Posted April 17, 2006 What about on PAM chronos? I feel like the pushers aren't watertight... My 196 is sealed very well around all the pushers/crown/and back... I would worry about the bezel seal more than anywhere. Have it checked by a watchmaker and then you'll know.
