Pelagos v6f v4 HE valve

[personwholikeswatches]

Hey guys. I was just wanting to know if any of you who swim/shower with your v6f Pelagos have had issues with water getting in through the he valve. I am about to get a v6f v4, and the seller is going to grease the gaskets and stuff for me, but he said the he valve is still a potential problem. I was just wondering if that is a place where water can get in on the Pelagos reps, and if anyone has had issues with it. Is the he valve actually an opening to the case, or is it just a fake valve so to speak. Thanks!

I can't really speak on these newer pelagos' , but I had a v1 by ZF and the helium valve fell out and had to be glued back in . Unfortunately I can't recall too much about whether there was a way for water to make its way into the case.

I had my V6f tested to 100m and it passed. That's as far as the tester in the shop went. It's been in the shower and swimming in the sea all fine. I always test my watches before getting them wet and then annually

Same here, I had mine serviced and sealed as soon as it came in and it passed with flying colors.
