You are definitely brave. As I know 3 atm water resistant watch is not recommended for pool, correct?

Good demo but no pain for $15 watch if spoiled. I will admire if he use the expensive watch to test it. :)

could only validate if the gaskets are all good with water test :D

not long ago, my master "small second" (L2.676) was having watermark in the middle of the glass although I don't clean it with water or even wear it under the rain; the only possible that the water slip-in was during normal handwash.

It's not too bad because lucky it's still under warranty, they SC fixed it.... but I still wondering how that could happen to a new Longines master series watch.  :Mad:

Its a base 7751. Most watchmakers should be able to handle that
