watchdr 0 Posted December 2, 2016 I can tell you, I have a Omega Seamaster Chrono and I swim with it, I have gone in the ocean with it, I have gone in fires with it ( I'm a fireman) and beat this thing to hell and back and never had a problem with it. Still looks like the day I bought it. Love this thing. Just ordered a Aqua Terra GMT, we will see if it is up to the same standards. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

epalanb 1 Posted December 2, 2016 I test to 6 bar using a Bergeon tester. I like this idea, but I look at Bergeon testers and it looks like you could spend a truck load of $ on a tester. Which one do you have? How much would you pay someone to do what is suggested? ie open the case, grease the seals and test the watch? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

childishthing 1 Posted December 4, 2016 I'm currently weighing a PO vs. a PO chrono (my wife prefers the chrono) http://www.rwg.bz/bo...howtopic=125353 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
purger72 0 Posted December 4, 2016 I'm currently weighing a PO vs. a PO chrono (my wife prefers the chrono)http://www.rwg.bz/bo...howtopic=125353 Well I preferred non chrono. Why dont you go with one off speedmaster chronos, they look much better than PO chrono. I just think PO already has thick hands and adding crono to it just feel bit to much.

purger72 0 Posted March 4, 2017 Just to recap on my PO. Since I post this topic have been swimming whole summer with my PO . No rust in the movement and no problems what so ever. I did not dive well couple off meters deep and just normal swimming, watch is fine. However before I did put PO in 5o the water I greased the seal on the back case. As well checked the seal on crown and He valve. It all looked fine. Hope that comes as a good info to our members. Remember swimm safe and respect the water,sea,ocean...
