Waterproof


Recommended Posts

Completely agree with what ubi has so concisely explained! :good:

All it takes is a trip to your (rep-friendly) watchsmith to get it pressure-tested...after greasing all seals / o-rings, that is... Once that is done, you can play with all the water you want, with your reps on! :p

Who says a rep or franken CAN'T be waterproof?

Mine are all pressure tested/checked once a year, and are subjected to water on a daily basis...

+ 2 to ubi and cool!!!! If I wanna take them to Water, they get the grease and pressure treatment!

Here's my favorite under water watch:

I use my SSD and Sub for swimming all the time.

My SMP Chrono failed the pressure test even after greasing.

My Cousteau Diver passed, but had a potential leak problem because of loose fit chrono pushers (if they got depressed it would leak...but not pushed...ok...just be careful it doesn't get bumped).
