Breitling Steelfish --- Water Test Positive


rolli

Recommended Posts

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.

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.

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.
