:D Because I'm slightly mad etc etc.
AdeV:
I suspect the reason for the seemingly massive depth is because the "static pressure" a watch is rated to seriously under-rates dynamic pressure? e.g. my Sekonda manual says that a 30 metre "water resistant" watch is basically only safe in a shower - you're not to wear it in the bath, or when swimming. 50 metre resistance means it'll still work in the bath/swimming pool, and 100 metre resistance means you can dive into said swimming pool (but not from the high board) - and scuba diving is out of the question.
Given that sort of scale, if a real diver wanted to wear a watch at 2000ft down, having a 4900 metre rated watch is probably just about right...
HS93:
are you saying these are a new watch out? if so WHY would an owner give one to you for reepair do they not have a good warantey I know the likes of tag do and if I get them repaird by a non agent I loose the cover, second what happens if it fails at that presure WHO pays because all you would have is bent metal parts.

So basically the rating ie either a lie or a con?... or both? :bugeye:

:D
IMO most dive watches are over built anyway so a 600m Seiko dive watch would most likely pass 1000metres. 2000ft is only about 600 odd metres, a 1220 Rolex sub would be fine for 600metres depth static or dynamic.
The movement is removed when tested to serious depth, worse thing can happen would be that the glass cracked or the case flooded meaning the case would have to be disassembled dried out and reassembled gaskets changed etc etc.
I thought the machine would be a cool bit of kit to have etc etc.
Most of my work is for watches passed warranty etc etc.
