Ivoitalia 0 Posted March 21, 2011 Have just started to get addicted this forum recently. Made first purchase of a DSSD last week. In looking at the pictures and diving into the vast amount of info out there it kind of popped into my head why are these not more waterproof? Maybe to even 50 meters. These are amazing replicas and being new I am not sure why there is not some sort or waterproofing. It seems they are all very delicate around water? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Luthier 1 Posted March 21, 2011 Because rep. factories don't want to spend more time and money on waterproofing. Yes, it's a few minutes job, but they just don't give a fuck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NFleischer 4,355 Posted March 21, 2011 They can be tested and made fairly waterRESISTANT by greasing the gaskets, pressing the crystal, and sealing the HE valve for example. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
