Are there any TDs who can test waterproofing before shipping?

Hi all,

I am looking to buy a VSF Omega Seamaster diver 300m V2 in the next week or two and in an ideal work it would be nice to be able to use it during pool swimming. Nothing too heavy just general pool stuff. Does anyone know of and TDs who as well as sending QC pictures will also test the waterproofing of a watch?

nope, suggest you take it to a watchmaker locally to get it sealed after you get it

Ive seen members post QC pictures including one of the watch being pressure tested but I don't know which TD they are from, I know it's not intime

Best to see pressure testing in front of you with your own eyes and know nothing has changed (it hasn’t been opened again etc) between the testing and you swimming with it. Most watch shops and jewellers do it for a very small fee. Just don’t go near an AD.
