pam 187 dive depth

[marcko]

HI Everyone
Can someone tell if its possible to make a Pam 187 waterproof for 100 meters depth ?
I love this rep but would like to keep it on while diving.
Normally i don't go a lot deeper then 50 meters but just in case.

youd be stunned at the quality of the components on this watch. I've disassembled the pushers to grease the seals and found them already greased from the factory!!! I've actually swam with mine with no issues. I wouldn't hesitate to take this in for a 5-7 ATM Pressure test after proper greasing of the seals.

Great, and if after greasing water comes inside is the watch completely useless or not ?
Can it still be fixed ?

Many, many dive watches have survived water intrusion by receiving a full service.

The largest opportunity for water intrusion on rep panerais is a stem that is cut too long causing improper seal against the tube, or a damaged Crystal gasket. The more common issue being the Crystal gasket. If you don't have these issues, your watch should be VERY water proof. The only way to know for sure is a pressure test.

You introduce a new variable with the pushers, but again the construction on the 187 pushers is very sound. Get it pressure tested and go have a dive. Let us know how it goes!
