ShovelnTC 31 Posted September 29, 2016 I seem to recall there were quire a few posts back in the day that showed what guys were doing for WR on their divers but I haven't seen anything for recent releases. I have a BB and a Pelagos that I'll likely pull down to do some sealing as I'd like to use the Pegolas at least as a swim watch but has anyone else done any work on these recent releases? Usual stuff like sealing the back of the He Valve etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thrichar 47 Posted September 30, 2016 Cheeky answer is yes, I bought a Pelagos from an AD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
carter23 2 Posted September 30, 2016 Im still unclear... what actually happens if water leaks into the watch? movement just rusts up or....? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ShovelnTC 31 Posted September 30, 2016 Cheeky answer is yes, I bought a Pelagos from an AD Did you just go for it? Swimming. surfing, sex in shower? Im still unclear... what actually happens if water leaks into the watch? movement just rusts up or....? Yep, precision machine engineering rarely works well with water involved.

Thrichar 47 Posted September 30, 2016 I figure at the gen price tag, it better bloody be waterproof!! Taken it swimming, that's about it. Hadn't considered sex in the shower - I love it, but not in that way Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ShovelnTC 31 Posted September 30, 2016 Ahh, an Ad, I read it quick and thought Td. Yes I would also expect it to be WR. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
merlix 3 Posted September 30, 2016 Hello the BB and the Pelagos have the gaskets in the crown and in the back case , to ensure the waterproof , you can greased the gaskets and close correctly the caseback. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ilikewaches 29 Posted October 1, 2016 The case back on my BB came very loose. It also had two gaskets on the back, it should only have 1. I took one out greased it and put the case back on nice and snug. I've gone swimming many times with it now. If I hadn't done this I'm sure a ton of water would have gotten in.

That's weird, did you buy it new or M2M? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's weird, did you buy it new or M2M? Brand new ZF. The good one with the 2824. Just got it a few weeks ago. It's a great watch, that was just strange for sure. Good thing I always grease the case back gasket first thing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
