I'm sending my diver to Vac soon to get it waterproofed. Does anyone know what I should expect in terms of how deep it'll be WP to? 5bar? 7bar? 10bar?

Thanks RWI.

Have you thought of asking him?
He probably would know best.

You're response was helpful, thanks.:facepalm:

I was quoted 5ATM on my diver from VAC.

No one can truly answer this, except him. Each watch is tested, and they vary on what depth they pass at. No one here can give you an accurate response.

But I'm sure he'll give me an approximate before I pay him. I was wondering what that approximate was. I dont dive or anything, however, I do live on the beach so I'd like this to be water proof enough to take to the beach and wear in the pool.

I've had AP's pass from 3atm to 5. The water resistance can vary. But the diver has no pushers so it should reach 5.

I got one off a member trade and he stated it had been tested up to 10 atm no problem.

Vac did mine and it tested to 7 ATM - I think the Divers are anywhere from 5 to 10 ATMs. But Vac said they totally vary - but 5 ATM seems like the low end.

And wait times, they are long, but worth it.

Mine tested to 7 atm. Enough for my casual swimming needs.
