One of the many advantages of Spain (Sea, sun...) is that some watchsmith still know more than changing quartz's batteries...
I met one of it who change some battery (4$ !!), repair a broken gold neckless (8$ !!) modified a ring (0$ !!)...
I talk with him, he's from switzerland, and we came to discuss about REPlica. Of course he knows them because lots of canal street ones are sold on the beach.
I show him my Bronzo 382N KV, and immediatly he tells me that's a good watch, great quality very good details. He immediately look at the movement and tells me about the tells and falws regarding the Gen.
He ask me if it's waterproof, I tell him I ain't test it. As he's a passionate, he propose me to test it for free as he purchased a new tester !!
After minutes, Surprise my 382n pass the test easily !!
PAM stays in 3% range during x2 successive tests !!
Tester is an Elma 2000.
So it's waterproof, and he add a good one, as range is ok up to 10% !!
He tells me he's impressed by assembly precision. He ask me for the price, I gave him an idea, He's not astonished, and tells me for a good waterproofed watch made of bronze the price is correct.
So I decided to take some "humidity" :
No humidity inside after 24 hours !!
Oh, I almost forgotten 0$ for the test, in my country it's about 30$ !!!
After some hesitation, I decided to get in "real" condition....
Nice place :
Some light, some little waves.... nice..
Will you guess who I'm ?
Ok it's written on the topic... let's get closer..;
Yessss
Let's go for some more ....
Back from spain, not a single problem !! So validated for simple swimming, no diving here..
Even the strap, after a good shower is perfectly intact !!
