Hey Guys,
I just got a Datejust II and I had a very, very reputable watchmaker install a really high quality 5 ct diamond bezel.

He said he pressure tested it for 45 min and it's good to go. When he said that, I was taken off guard. I thought the insides of these watch were sealed, even if the bezel came off. (I've only own'd a Sub - where you can snap the bezels on and off without waterproofing concerns).

Should I be concerned now with this thing still being waterproof? I don't really swim much deeper than 10/15 ft. But do you think it still has the water resistance of 100m? I have no idea what it means that he pressure tested it for 45 min.

Like I said, the guy is super reputable and he said I shouldn't have any problems. But, I wanted to see what the forum says! Thanks!

If you trust he actually did the pressure test, don't worry you should be fine, jump in the pool...

You should be fine.

Interestingly enough, when I bought my 16570 the guy told me not to get it wet. I realized he was totally full of it but had it pressure tested anyway

Enjoy (and why no pics?)
