My tt YM !!!

[Minkman]

Got this baby from Sead , everything's great and the links are gold all the way around even the inside !!!

The only issue is the crystal fogs up when I'm in the shower and its laying on the sink or in the bathroom.

I guess I need it waterproofed and it wouldn't hurt to get a service right ? It's a clone 2836 --- what am I looking at price wise for this ?

Looks great!

My Rolesium THYM used to fog too,,,,,it was the crystal seat....not the case back o ring or trip lock o ring. That will require you to send to an RWI smith for some massaging.

Looks good though. My PCP (Doctor) wears the ladies version of this YM

Servicing runs me $75 for an eta here in Texas. Waterproofing would be $25-50 I would think, but your crystal is probably leaking- don't know if that can be fixed or not. Probably don't have gen bezel construction which can make waterproofing tough.

Still waiting on a reply from Sead --- I'd like to at least make it shower proof :/

 

[Minkman]

Guys -- any advice ? I can't seem to get in touch with Sead and I love this ******* watch ...

Should I send to Katt or another repair guy or wait on Sead ? Or accept the fact I blew 200 $ ?

Get yourself a crystal press, and some resi-bond

 

[Minkman]

That sounds like a costly mess lol

Sead said to leave the case back off for 24hrs

You have no reason to ever wear a rep esspecially a gold plated rep in the shower, use your head.

If I'm not mistake He left it on the sink...I sure He knows not to take it in the shower...since its gold plated probably should not have it in the bathroom...IMHO

I wear my two tone noob daytona in the shower and I'll stick it in an ultrasonic cleaner any day. Unchlorinated fresh water should not have any negative effect on plating. Don't take plated metal into a chlorinated pool, saltwater or use alcohol based cleaners on it. Since you bought a plated watch, it's already a dressy piece to begin and your best bet is to treat as such. You shouldn't expect to use it as a diver, but you should at least be able to wash it in a sink without it fogging up.

Big ups to Sead -- I sent it back and he's doing a custom waterproofing

 

[Minkman]

I think it's wrapped judging by the links --- they are gold plated inside and out but idk

 

[Minkman]

And no I didn't shower with it -- I left it on the sink.

Now Sead is fixing and waterproofing and repairing the watch for me. The plating on this watch is very good.

If you can see base metal on the sides of the edges of the hollow midlinks on the bracelet, it's wrapped. If it's all gold on the edges, it's plated.

Good that he's fixing it for you but I wouldn't take any watch rep or gen in the bathroom while you shower, no use in risking it.
