4th Waterproof test - Omega SMP GMT by Joshua

[TJGladeRaider]

This is an Omega SeaMaster Pro GMT that I got from Joshua for about $300. He made no representations that the watch would be waterproof other than to say thathis reps are safe to shower with.

I took the watch to 4ATM (About 132FT) and I must apologize to Joshua for using these pics as the watch failed due to my fault. If you look at the pics, you will note that you can see air escaping from the He release valve - that's because I never checked it and it was loose. You see one bubble and then another formi9ng in the last pic.

I used these pics rather than the subsequent set because I wanted to show how obvious a leak is even when it is a small leak. Once I tightened the He release valve, it was perfect - but that answered a question I was curious about as I wondered if that valve was just there for looks whether it actually went anywhere. It must go thru the case, or at least cover an air pocket o some sort.

I was really glad to see this watch pass as it keeps very good time and I wear it a lot with a nice sharkskin band and deployment clasp. The Omega dealer at the mall commented on what a nice combination that was.

Nice watch Joshua - and if it will go to 132 feet, no worries.
