Why aren't these excellent replica's more waterproof

Recommended Posts

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?

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.

They can be tested and made fairly waterRESISTANT by greasing the gaskets, pressing the crystal, and sealing the HE valve for example.

Would it cost them a lot more?

no, but when they are selling watches like hotcakes, they really could care less....and why should they?
