hiker01 Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 Since I don't really have any scientific equipment to test for water resistance, I thought I should just make one out of a really tall pretsel container that holds about a gallon and a-half of water and added a teaspoon of salt just to make it more exciting. I greased all the gaskets of these watches b4 they got in, except the SSD! These are the watches that went in: and this is how they all looked like in the bottom: Wow! They all passed!!!! Except the SSD come out with some rust on the end links, but I think it was from the sprinG bar because it easily wiped off! I love all these watches after this test! I know in the ocean snorkeling or diving is a different story, but at least for daily wear and occasional swimming, they should be fine! THANKS!

Sir-Lancelot Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 NATO and el cheapo spring bars for the ocean baby !! If you take a watch in the ocean, better go ahead and buy some more spring bars that salt will do it every time. Grease them up and make sure they are tight. I have not had any troubles in the pool or the beach myself. disclaimer - I have never swam with a chrono and dont intend to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
