Hi, why for the same watch for example Pam 372 Noob, different sellers declare different waterproof ? Wachtstation for example reports > 50 meter other sellers only water resistant? Mod and check from seller?

Never trust seller's description about water resistance, have the watch checked by a watchsmith before you take it to the water.

+1 Unless you are prepared for the consequences should water get into the watch. Even if the TD accepts responsibility for it afterwards, you're looking at a few weeks at least getting that watch shipped to China and waiting for the factory to repair it.

+2 I ruined my first PAM111 because I trusted the TD claim about being waterproof and went swimming with it. DON'T DO IT!!! Spend a little money and have it professionally waterproofed and then tested to verify its air tight. I found Vaclume on this forum and he has done a couple of watches for me now. Trust me, it's worth the money not to have to replace a waterlogged rep.

You didn't ask how much the service would cost before you gave them your watch??

Service on your rep will be about $150, waterproofing about $50.

I thought the price was right since it was a gen.... At that time I already gave the watch for service without asking lol... Won't happen again
