Can a model of the military issued Adanac military tool watch be serviced to be used again as intended? Like can it be trusted to hold it's water depth rating if gaskets have been properly replaced and the watch resealed and depth tested by professionals or due to the age of the watch, would it...

Hello. So I just got a new Helson titanium watch and absolutely love it. It's going a little fast (+20 sec) so I wanna take it to be regulated. It's rather new so I'm trusting the WR is on point. I do trust my watchmaker but still wanted to ask. Will using a steel case opener on a titanium screw...

Fairly basic question about screwing a case-back. I was meticulously module swapping between two G-Shocks but doubts arose upon my final step. One of the watch, which is of the same model as the other, had all the 4 screws tightened without further movement. While the set of 4 on the other kept...

Can unscrewing and pulling out the diver watch crown weaken the seal overtime? That assuming normal use of the crown when warranted, such as date changing for shorter months, dst update and when traveling to a different timezone.

Hey all, In short - can one responsibly shower wearing a dive watch? I have seen quite a diversity of opinion on if proper dive watches can handle daily showers. At first this seemed like an exceedingly stupid question to ask since dive watches are literally built for handling crazy sea...

So, I recently acquired a JLC Reverso Tribute Moon. Lovely watch, 30m WR, not something anyone brings for a dip in the pool. Right? Except, I was browsing the online manual (as one does), and came across this: "You may use your watch during short swims and when jumping in from the edge of a...

Hi Everyone, I recently bought a Seiko Cannonball (SRPD35K1) and it has 20bar resistance. I was surprised that it has this rating without a screwdown crown. I have several watches that are rated at 100m water resistance without screwdown crown but never 20 bar. Are there other watches that have...

A year ago, I bought a Retro Vostok watch (model: Retro 540001) from Meranom. Some rain drops got on the watch, and afterwards I noticed there were a lot of droplets on the inside of the crystal. (The watch documentation states that it's resistant to rain and water splashes from hand washing.)...

I just had my watch checked for its water resistance. I got a receipt from the Leak checker, but no one at the store can explain to me what it means. How much water resist my watch has etc. Therefore I'm reaching out to the community to see if anyone can explain what this reading means.

Recently, my Vostok Amphibia fogged up when I was swimming with it. I read a lot of forum posts where people immediately concluded that fogging was a sign of the water resistance being compromised. In fact, this seemed like the most common response. But I also remembered seeing a video in...

Folks: A months-old Pantor Nautilus (love it by the way), with which I am very careful...suddenly a piece of black gasket was visiible when trying to screw down the crown after time setting. (I set weekly to the atomic signal, so I'm unscrewing and screwing down the crown once a week...

I bought my first automatic last year, the Seiko SNK803. I sort of abused it only yesterday and today. Took it with me in the shower. Cold shower only as I won't dare take a hot/warm shower with it (if you think it doesn't matter, please elaborate). My question is, am I destroying it? The...

Do you trust a watch with a rating of 10 ATM bu that does not have a screw down crown, only a push-pull? How far would you trust it? Washing dishes? Shower? Swimming? I am researching for a purchase I'm considering. I read this thread...

I'm a diver that hasn't gone out in a very long time. From my ancient understanding a bar is one atmosphere. So 3 bars indicates 3 atmospheres of pressure. You get to that kind of pressure at 30 feet of depth. I then read on my new watch's manual (with 3 bars water resistance), that it can...

Hello! I was wondering if anybody here knows anything about/can give feedback on Witschi ChronoProof PRO? ChronoProof PRO - Test water resistance of watches They claim the machine to be the only dry tester with integrated compressor. I'm not a watchmaker so I was looking for a reliable machine...

Hey all! I've been looking around for a sporty chronograph that I am able to use under water. I came across the stunningly beautiful Seiko SSCs, but unfortunately my wrists are smaller so that wouldn't be the best option for me. Then, I came across the Citizen Eco-Drive CA0336-52H chronograph...

Any suggestions out there for an affordable chronograph with water resistance? My fiance accidentally broke the crystal on my swatch (fused to case, not replaceable) irony. I have my new automatic (Alpiner Manufacture), but still want a quartz for every day use that can take a beating. I'd like...
