Thanks maybe I should get my 3yr BB58 checked. I use it all the time in water

 

Me neither, but presumably they must have worked it out somehow?

 

Yum, nothing as sexy as a nice wet fiddy eight

 

Feck me, opened a can o’ worms here.

 

You use a dive watch in water?! Definitely worth getting it pressure checked, I'm not sure about Tudor but my Breitling needs pressure testing every year for the warranty to cover water damage.

 

more an honest question on gaskets/ and pressure testing. Whether to wait until serviced or so people do that yearly?

All my watches get wet, it’s part of the lot intended purpose.

When I do get a Monaco that too will get used in the water, if it’s the watch I’m wearing at the time. Strap appropriate obviously

 

Animal.

 

If it's a watch I wear in water, I 100% would get it pressure tested at least once a year when they pass a couple of years old. My local Timpsons does it for free after I spent an hour chatting about turbos with the guy there, their chamber only goes up to 100m, but thats enough to have confidence that I can swim or surf with a watch. Reminds me, I must pop in with my steel aquaracer and test it after changing the battery, currently the only watch I trust in water is the Night Diver.

 

As a matter of interest how much would a test bell thing cost?

About £150. Not bad at all considering how much a battery and test costs.
