I have a question to someone with the V7. I am pretty much sold on the one at intime.co. Damn beautiful, and sooo close to the gen.
My question: Have you had it pressure tested? I am not going to take it diving, but I'm wondering how the water resistance is on these? I know that I shouldn't expect 200m, but wondering about swimming and what not. Maybe 30 feet max for free diving/snorkeling.
I really like this one over the noob because it does use an ETA movement. I'm willing to pay more for a swiss movement. If it ever goes wrong, I know that I can fix an ETA. Who knows about asian copy though.
Also, do you think that it is worth it to get the box and papers? I am not going to tell people that it's real, but I will also not tell them that it is fake. I merely tell them that I do not like to discuss money and they assume what they assume, but it might be useful to have the manuals for aesthetics.
