Noob Question

[SeaRolex]

Always wanted to ask this question but keep forgetting.... so better ask first before i forget again:

if u send your SD to authen in RSC...do they ensure the case when install back to the SD, how can u be sure that the watch can withstand the pressure stated on the dial 4000Ft??? well i know i won't go this deep.. unless i throw this watch into Atlanic Ocean one day!

[seiko.citizen]

i believe a pressure test is conducted to the force stated + abit more.

[SeaRolex]

ok.. but anyone can anyone verify this esp those who has sent their SD for verification /authen test?? does the technicians actually carry out this test after an authen process??? not repair or service...

This particular question had been posted some time ago (it was regarding water resistance worthiness after a watch is authenticated at RSC) and it was somewhat answered in part but there was no unanimous consensus amongst those who replied. So perhaps only the RSC people can give an absolute answer to the question. anyway the following is the past thread on this that u may be interested .

When you send in for authentication...no they won't check pressure for you. Not part of their procedure I feel. They know how much pressure to apply and make sure the caseback is sealed up to standard...SUPPOSING they open up the caseback. Accurate or not up to 4000ft...that they cannot assure unless they test.

That is what I feel.

huh.. then sianz liow... imagine if one bought a SD brandnew in one forum then go RSC to check for authen, not sure if the pressure is up to standard.. u may be thinking ..it may be now 40ft instead of 4000ft....

[seiko.citizen]

you can always request to seal up. At the end of the day, they may charge you to pressure test to 4000ft

Very interesting subject indeed, I am wondering, when will be the day that I will ever dive 4000ft deep into the ocean? SD is mand for professional diver that challange the depth of ocean, preharps that is the only reason that I may demand for water pressure test to 4000ft...

At it is, the ulmost important for me is water tightness up to 100m, a depth that most of us enjoy our diving sports.

So when doing servicing in RSC, will they do the pressure test to 4000ft, even if u don't demand..ie is this part of servicings. or if u demand, will they charge us? if yes how much... can anyone advise?

[tomcatf]

Yes, SRC will perform pressure test for all the watch when send for servicing. My GMT II and My Mom DJ had gone through the test, hope that answer your worry. However, pressure test is not perform during the verification.

I think you can request for a seperate testing after verification. Or any watchmaker can do a waterproof testing for you.
