andreww Posted August 10, 2007 Report Share Posted August 10, 2007 I know everybody has their favorites, but I prefer to use a two part epoxy. Just try and get as much of the old glue off as possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

azerbyjam Posted August 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2007 He also said that the glue applyed before was done poore and not correctly ... Yeah, well I'd certainly go along with that, just one of those QC issues that you get with reps I suppose. 2 part epoxy it is then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FxrAndy Posted August 10, 2007 Report Share Posted August 10, 2007 If i know i have a nice close fitting part then i use clear nail varnish, so far i have had no problems, the reason i use this is that it holds well but can be broken when i need to and cleaned off easily as opposed to epoxy or cyanoacrylate glue.

azerbyjam Posted August 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2007 I think that while checking for waterproofing if you want to swim or dive with these watches, it would be advisable to make sure the bezel insert is secure. From what I've seen you're just as likely to lose the insert as have water find its way into the case. Remember, quality control is variable at best.

mucrewbtp Posted August 13, 2007 Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 is it waterproof? ie can you still swim with it? (I'm assuming you CAN swim ) The He valve is a real weak point because it is really just a screw run through the case from the inside. It's best to take the movement out and seal that off permanently with epoxy. I've done that to mine and greased the seals and I dive with it regularly on shallower dives. On deep dives I use my SFSO since I haven't had the UPO pressure tested yet. If you just want to swim though you would definitely be fine if you sealed the He valve and greased the seals. -Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
