Has anyone that purchased the new 5th generation 42mm Planet Ocean from Lay checked it for WP'ing ? Not so much for diving and such, but enough to withstand the pool and shower ?

I believe he does a pressure test prior to a watch shipping. At least he has for my orders. Generally that info is provided when you receive your tracking number.
That being said, you should ALWAYS pressure test your watch after you receive it. When your dealing with this type of product their just isn't a guarantee. If you've done your homework you will have heard this mantra as well as ways to waterproof your watch.
Or, if you have BIG BRASS ONES, strap that fecker on and jump into the nearest body of water. Good luck!!! It's really all that can be said after that last bit...

G30: Thanks for the information. I can't say that any information regarding WP'ing was included with the tracking info when it shipped. At least none that I recall having seen.You are, of course, correct about the need to double-check it's water tight intergrity before "diving in with the fecker" lol
Thanks for the information. Of course a rep should always be double-checked. I was just curious if anyone has ever "dove in with the fecker" without having sealed it themselves or even bothered to check the WP on it.

Try this... If you log into your account at RM, go to View Messages and look for a message in your inbox that says "Order #XXXX Shipment detail". At the bottom of that message you will see a rating, usually something like "Waterproof to 30 meters". That was the rating I received on my 42mm PO from RM as well as my UPO.
As for strapping the fecker on and diving in, there is this...

10 meters straight out of the mailbox ? I'm just curious if it'll withstand an evening swim in the pool and the shower. At least I was until today. It seems the tube threads for the crown have stripping already :facepalm:
Would anyone know of a quick-fix for this: besides pulling the stem/crown and mvt?
I'd planned to have a gen tube and crown put in it eventually, just not this soon.
