By design, this watch will be waterproof. However, I don't know if they will be tested. It's the testing you're after, I suppose.kinneyrhs said:

Exactly! I mean I know a number of watches say "water-resistant" on them, but I want a watch that I can jump in the pool/ocean without a thought of it getting messed up....
*siggghh*... I guess I'll just stick to sending them off for now..
So I may be getting WWAAYY ahead of myself.. but how do the rep factories plan on rep'ing the wood insert in the back? Since it is a real piece of wood from teh Calypso, it is going to be aged/vintage looking and will take some creativity....
how the lume
The dial looks great but the lume is going to be a big issue with this watch. WHat are the plans for the lume???

Please don't expect too much on the lume, white lume is always less as bright as the green lume, even for the superlume.
Received superlume from a customer and I will try to lume it, if it is possible and I will convince the watch maker to use superlume for all production or at least for my production, heehee :lol:
The caseback will have a piece of REAL wood, no worries. and the serial number are copied from the real life, which mean the serial numbers do exist!
Will post pics once the dial bezel is ready.

It would be great if the factory could really make it waterproof (10ATM).
If you buy a diver, diving with it would be nice 8)

Even if they told you it was waterproof to 10ATM, I wouldn't hold my breath, and surely I wouldn't go diving/swimming with it. You could pressure test it, but ultimately end up losing a perfectly good watch
I know someone who lost his rolex in a lake swimming with his family... GEN rolex LOL
he then even paid a team of professional divers to find it but it never appeared again lol

On the Gen, the bezel rotates when you turn the crown at 4.
Will this be a feature of this? If it is, count me in.
