rolli Posted July 26, 2007 Report Share Posted July 26, 2007 hi all, some time ago i did a vacuum machine water test with my first steelfish and the result was negative. result: i've got a new second steelfish. today i did the water test with the machine Witchi ALC 2000. 1.) 0,8 bar vacuum test -- result: waterproof 2.) 10 bar pressure test -- result: waterproof below you see a picture with this result. note: this special breitling case can be only tested with a minimum vacuum pressure test of 0,8 bar. good result, now i know that i can throw the steelfish into the sea with a red ribbon aound it. LOL. rolli test report: Witchi ALC 2000: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Estaban Posted July 26, 2007 Report Share Posted July 26, 2007 I have swam extensively with my asian SFSO over the past two weeks. Tight as a drum. Not bad for under $150 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rolli Posted July 31, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 the product manager of the fabricator witchi eletronics told me today, when a watch passes the test with 10 bar pressure positive, then the 20 bar pressure test will be positive also. therefore operate the commercial devices with 10 bar. I think that was helpful. rolli Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pugwash Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 I assume my Steelfish (From Precious Time, never opened) is waterproof. I wear it as if it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chubbchubb Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 Someone sold a Greiner WPC300 on the bay yesterday (250145493116) for 700€. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rolli Posted July 31, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 this is an old device. this device operates only with pressure not with vacuum technology. but vacuum is the most important test. the watch gets an expansion and here you can see whether the gaskets hold the watch really waterproof. a test with pressure is mostly the second test. the new modern device from greiner is the poseidon. rolli Someone sold a Greiner WPC300 on the bay yesterday (250145493116) for 700 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
