Jasonb:
How are you going to test to your required 550bar if the pump is limited to 500bar ?

I think by the time you get down to 4,900 metres the last thing you will be doing is looking at your watch.

That was my reaction, John. 3 miles or so down is definitely Davy Jones's locker. I think Bry works on other people's watches, so seems to have been lucky enough to tap into a rich vein of folk with more money than sense!

I'd be tempted toward fraud, sticking with a 330bar chamber and issuing a guarantee that if the watch failed before it reached 4,900 metres, it would be replaced. Claims should be infrequent.

Hi there,

I'd limit the hydraulic pump to 500 or 550Bar as the machine only needs to test down to 4,900metres maximum.

Just thought I'd build a pressure tester at the moment as no one else offers a pressure chamber for testing the Latest Rolex Deepsea marvel of Swiss engineering:-

Great article:-

Looks a lovely watch not that I can afford a Rolex these days! :(

I have to ask this... what the hell for?... given that he only way this could ever be exposed to pressures even a small fraction of that are on a very very long line?
