Do you take it in the water? I'm just wondering, becouse if all of the gaskets are good and its pressure tested I don't see why not. I know my local watch maker says no water other than washing your hands for anything older than 10 years. It seems silly to me if it tests out ok. I think he is just covering his behind.
