elp 26 Posted April 30, 2015 Jokes aside, unless you have greased the gaskets, sealed the He valve and had it tested I would not risk it in water For patina you can use the egg method. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
peteyjones 0 Posted May 26, 2015 I can't wait to get some proper patina on mine - but the problem is, every QC pic I have received for the KW seems to have the 12 o'clock and 6 o'clock markers slightly off-kilter... leaning slightly in one direction. Is it distortion from the crystal dome? I am perplexed... I don't want to take delivery, only to see in real life that the markers are indeed not aligned properly. Can someone tell me if this is a common issue? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bummer, I think that He valve on 382 is unsealable. I sold my 382 ... doesn't it have an He (fake) escape valve? Oops The principle stands though for watches with a fake He valve - it's a risk to swim without waterproofing, see KeNnY's DSSD example here http://www.rwg.bz/board/index.php?showtopic=12350 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
