Hi All,

 

Great site, could anyone suggest any rep dive watches that are truly waterproof available from the TD's or is this only something that can be done aftermarket?

 

Cheers

Paul

non-chrono watches may well be waterproof out of the box - but equally they may need the seals greasing. Don't trust the dealers' waterproofing services - get it tested before taking it near water. Places like Timpson's may well be willing to test and, if necessary, waterproof a watch.

 

Note that even if waterproof, any watch (rep or gen) will need re-testing fairly regularly.

I've looked around and have seen that some dealers state 'waterproof' - just wondered how much faith to put in the claim.

 

Thanks guys

Is it just me or does having most of the TD's prices in $ make me feel like i'm getting a bargain by paying in £......!
