ubiquitous Posted May 12, 2009 Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 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... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolfire Posted May 12, 2009 Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 Completely agree with what ubi has so concisely explained! 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toadtorrent Posted May 12, 2009 Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 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).
