My new Narikaa 42mm PO; black bezel; sexy

[Scrumpyjack]

Can anyone tell me if this model is waterproof. By this I mean can I swim in the sea in this watch?

Thanks in advance

There are some additional measures necessary before you can swim with this watch. I will post some technical pics and 'how-to' to make sure it is waterproof this week-end.

In a nutshell:

Remove case back

Remove the crown/ stem

Uncase the movement

Glue/ putty the HEV hole

Case the movement

Grease the two crown seals

Insert the crown/ stem

Grease the case back seal

Put the case back back on

Use a case back tool to thighten the case back

Result? It tested to the max on my tester (6 ATM ) . So IMO you can even dive with it!

Sales thread now posted for the Rubber straps:

Not done earlier out of courtesy to those who had contacted me about them so that their orders could be processed first.

So has the watch from the latest batch made it to anyone in the new world yet? I think the carrier pigeons are tired.

I've always thought how do you tell if the waterproofings been done if you haven't got tools to check, which is why you're asking for it to be done as you haven't got the tools...

I did wonder whether for most dodgy dealers its a way of squeezing more money from you..

You take it to your local smiling watch smith, who will cheerfully pressure test it for you.

Hey, I see we will be in the same train and travelling in the same (first) class... I have the black bezel one, as I told before, and I am willing to grab my orange one and my black strap.

I think I will leave the SS in the black PO and will use the black rubber strap in the orange bezel one... It makes a nice combo, don
