I'm curious, what are your thoughts on the results of pressure tests from TD's? Do you trust the watch will be water resistant enough to withstand say taking the watch in the shower? I know swimming in chlorinated pools is not the best idea for even gen watches as the chlorine can shrink the gaskets, and salt water leaves behind... salt, which can be corrosive to the watch itself, but what about just water?
I tried searching the topic, and I came across SD4K's OUTSTANDING test post, and what I gathered after reading it is that it's hit or miss with reps without knowing test results of some kind beforehand. The question I'm posing isn't about "guessing" if it's water proof, rather interpreting the results of a TD's pressure test.
Here's a test from a watch, PureTime in this example. According the the screen, it's "Passed" the test to 3 bar, or 30M depth. What's your take on the results, and after pulling the crown out to set the watch so many times, when would you start to question if it's still water resistant?
