I don't think you will find a rep with a functional HE valve.
Somebody correct me if I'm wrong on this.
Most reps aren't even waterproof enough to use in the shower, so imagine going deepsea diving with it.

The SSD has a correctly oriented and seemingly working HEV that IS water proof. There was some test about how water proof the SD was a few year back. I have not read about actual helium testing it in a hyperbaric chamber, but at least the valve opens the right way and keeps the water out.

I tested mine to 150 PSI or roughly 10 ATM's and the HEv worked fine but the crystal leaked. While fixing the crystal I went ahead and epoxied the valve anyway since I'm not planning on doing saturation diving any time soon.

I'm like a little boy on Christmas, look what just came!

My BP Seadweller & TC parts! Now I just gotta wait until tomorrow when my tap should arrive so I can get modding for the crown/tube, then I'll install the dial & hands. Don't mind my lighter in the picture, I used it to cover my name & location.

Kohr, your picture shows a good example of the darker color of the BP hands against the dial.

Yes, it sure does. I'm glad I have the tc dial & hands to install, hopefully tomorrow. :)

I just installed the TC bracelet. As others have stated one side might fit in, the other will require filing down a tad.

What do you guys use to oil your bracelets?
