: that very question and his response was: a)
: This watch is very durable and as long as
: the the crown is properly screwed in, you
: should have absolutely no problem taking the
: watch swimming, diving, etc...
No arguments there. The watch is made for diving.
: b) This is the same jeweller I bought my 225450
: (blk/blck SMP) from. I bought mine 2 months
: ago and he says my watch will perform
: flawlessly, without servicing it for the
: next 5 years, regardless of what kind of
: abuse I put it through. He also noted that
: if water EVER gets into the watch during the
: entire time I own it, OMEGA will service it
: free of charge as he states this would be
: OMEGA's problem, not mine. I'm not sure if
: that last bit of advice is true so, I'd like
: your input on that...
Problem with that claim though. Omega, and practically every watchmaker out there recommends that you have the gaskets checked every year if you intend to take your watch into water. If you didn't do that for 5 years and then went diving and 'drowned' your watch, for one, it would already be out of warranty, and for another, it wouldn't be "Omega's problem" since they recommended that you have the integrity checked annually.
