namjah Posted September 25, 2007 Report Posted September 25, 2007 When you guys say it can withstand swimming,showering,etc...Did you guys do any mods to it like seal the inside?
Bearcat Posted September 25, 2007 Report Posted September 25, 2007 Mine has been fine as have many others. Resist the temptation to open the back and make it "better". That's where you may run into trouble. No problems swimming with either of mine (black and Lv). --Doc
oakland Posted September 25, 2007 Report Posted September 25, 2007 Straight out of the box with no mods, my noobmariner has withstood the beach, pools, hot tubs and saunas. I actually enjoy pushing the limits with it, just to see how far it will go. I've taken if from cols water to 104 degree water and back. It's a suprisingly well built rep.
FxrAndy Posted September 25, 2007 Report Posted September 25, 2007 No probas with mine even after i had it apart many times while i was customising it with the non marked superluminover dial.
Toadtorrent Posted December 3, 2007 Report Posted December 3, 2007 When you guys say it can withstand swimming,showering,etc...Did you guys do any mods to it like seal the inside? Just to update this thread, my Beginmariner from Josh...after getting the right one with the proper F520117 caseset, has not been tested by a machine, but has survived swimming and showering a number of times with no problems. I did not do anything to the watch. The gasket on the tube was present...didn't grease it...just screwed the crown in tight. As to the caseback...I stuck a rubber glove on the back and turned it is tight as I could get it with my hands (and it didn't move a millimeter). I took the leap of faith and after a few sessions of swimming (no more than 2m deep) for a couple hours each session...no leaks...no problems...all good! My gut feeling is, any NON-Chrono watch with a screw in crown (and screw in HEV for that matter) will likely be water resistant enough for swimming. Diving is a different issue. Add in chrono pushers to the equation and it's a crap shoot...
Omega Posted December 3, 2007 Report Posted December 3, 2007 Well, I hope so! It's a good ETA built in...
stilty Posted December 3, 2007 Report Posted December 3, 2007 Just had a Skype with Neil and he confirmed that i even could drown with it LOL :laugh: Thanks! I needed that this afternoon!
Toadtorrent Posted December 4, 2007 Report Posted December 4, 2007 Hmmmm...is it me or is your Noob In Water the only one with REALLY deep rehut??
Omega Posted December 4, 2007 Report Posted December 4, 2007 Hmmmm...is it me or is your Noob In Water the only one with REALLY deep rehut?? The same thought crossed my mind by first looking at the pic...
Toadtorrent Posted December 4, 2007 Report Posted December 4, 2007 The same thought crossed my mind by first looking at the pic... Maybe By-Tor can pin this as a reference for wokkiness in the Rollie section...hah!
