Has anyone given any thought to Liquipel for their most loved pieces (more then likely gens or superfrankens).

It is used on iPhones, and I was thinking that some watches may not have the best WR so for extra measure why not use Liquipel so the water doesn't corrode your piece?

Just food for thought.

I thought you just install iOS7 and that makes your iPhone water proof

Actually, what happens, is that you install ios7, you hate it, throw the phone in a drawer, buy an Android... and because of that, the iPhone forever stays in a desk where it belongs and never risks getting wet.

Well you chemically treat an item with a nano technology so it will completely repel water and it doesn't change anythings function ability, not even an iPhone or an android, just watch...

Good for 30 feet under for 30 minutes, or for small leaks on your prized possessions and minimal damage. For like 60 bucks.

This. Sony Xperia Z1 is a much better alternative than the latest 5S/5C crap.

Wouldn't a watch need to be retreated each time a caseback was opened or the crow unscrewed?

Yup. A new coating every time since you'd be breaking the 'seal' when opening the caseback. Not so sure if this would be used in the crown area though.

It's a nano coating, that prevents the surface that's treated to remain dry. Kinda like a barrier.

Works well on fabrics and electronics, not sure how well this would work in fine mechanical moving parts.

When a phone is treated, the whole phone inside and all gets the coating.
