jmac3789 0 Posted June 24, 2013 Bought an H factory 243 on M2M about a month ago. Gave it a trial by fire (water) yesterday and jumped in the ocean with it. Everything is still running fine, no fog on the crystal, not a drop of moisture in the watch. I let it sit in a glass of water for a few seconds at home before doing this and saw no bubbles... I wouldn't have risked it on any other watch but I've been thinking about going franken on this one anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Poporiderrr 0 Posted June 24, 2013 That's awesome. I ordered a Noob 243, which arrives tomorrow. What are your impressions so far (other than what is listed above)? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jmac3789 0 Posted June 24, 2013 It's a great watch. I think the noob is supposed to be a little better than the H. Put it on a thick leather strap and it is stunning Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DR3M3L 4 Posted June 25, 2013 My advice to you is to get it tested. Around 10-20$. No big deal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jmac3789 0 Posted June 25, 2013 Yeah Joran, I know I should. Unfortunately the only jeweler in my neighborhood who will work on a rep for me doesn't have pressure testing equipment. He wants $100 to test and proof it. It was dumb but at that price I took a chance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jmac3789 0 Posted June 25, 2013 It was actually looking at your thread that gave me the confidence to try it out, Del. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
