inmotion Posted November 18, 2007 Report Share Posted November 18, 2007 Well, most of us know that davidsen tests his watches to a water resistance of 30m. Furthermore, most of us also know that usually 30m = light splashes. as reckless as i am, or simply stupid i decided to take my pam112 from davidsen to new depths. did it survive to a 1 hour swim in the pool? YES! did it survive to a dive in the deep end of the pool? YES! did it survive to retrieving sunken weights at the bottom of the pool? YES! enjoy the pictures ps: this post is strictly for entertainment purposes only (though the feats mentioned above are true), i dont recommend for anyone to do these with any rep watches prior to having them properly pressure tested. as for me, im just crazy and couldn't justify having a "300m" water resistant watch and not being able to swim with it ...

YES! did it survive to a dive in the deep end of the pool? YES! did it survive to retrieving sunken weights at the bottom of the pool? YES! Gracious. Sunken weights no less. ps: this post is strictly for entertainment purposes only (though the feats mentioned above are true), i dont recommend for anyone to do these with any rep watches prior to having them properly pressure tested. as for me, im just crazy and couldn't justify having a "300m" water resistant watch and not being able to swim with it ... I totally agree. But I am batdoody scared to do the same, despite DSN telling me I can do what you did, so long as I have make sure the caseback's screwed on TIGHT, and checking the CG for the same. I really want to try this...ever since I saw member swimming with his sweet family in a pool. His wife told him if he ruined the PAM, he couldn't get another though. Hey, Inmotion thanks! Great blue-tint pic at that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inmotion Posted November 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2007 well... about the reckless part... i lied a bit. i actually dropped my dsn into a glass of water for a while the day i received it. (actually, that's pretty reckless too haha) came out fine....it was actually really fun to watch the movement tick away underwater... i checked the watch, no leaks whatsoever so yesterday, when my roommate asked me if i wanted to go down and swim with him i decided to bring my panerai and see how water resistant it was exactly apparently, its pretty damn water resistant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
