In Response To: Water Resistance and the Red Seal? ()

First, how old is the watch? Is it still under the factory warranty? And how much do you expect to use it around water?

So far, you have no reason to doubt the water resistance of the watch except for your own fears. Usually a watch is plenty fine for several years after it is new--unless it is abused (and usually you see signs of that).

So unless it is over three years old, or you plan to use it in water a lot, then just leave it alone.

Otherwise, most jewelers can perform the test--all it requires is a special pressure chamber that you place the watch in. The watch does not need to be opened, unless ther eis a problem that requires replacing the seals.
