Swimming with Pelagos

[oliver1971]

Any of you lucky Pelagos owners had a swim with their rep?

Yes, I was swimming with my Pelagos.
No problems. But it don’t mean your Pelagos is also waterproof.

I also went and had a swim and also no problem. Its risky. If you wanna be safe take out the movement and put the case in water. See if any water gets in and if it doesnt you are pretty safe. Of course if you dive pressure will be higher and the chance of getting water inside of your rep increases too.

I have both ( Black & Blue ) no problem swinging and diving. But buy a Seiko if ya wanna go deep.

Rule
Of thumb is to always grease all seals and ensure proper torque on all sealing surfaces.

Is it possible to get a TD to grease the seals and test it to ~10bar?

I know Puretime test all watches to 3bar. Can you ask them to try 10 also?

Pay a forum watchsmith to do it if you want to be sure it's done correctly

It is possible, but after transit and different atmospheric differences it is always advisable to have it tested locally.

^^ What he said, just have it done locally.
