Ahhh, about the Rolex watch that was made for proper deep-sea diving?

Looks interesting. I'd imagine that you'd have to send it to Rolex when you need to replace the battery.

Every time I send one of my watches to the jewellers to replace the battery, they warn me: We're opening it up to replace the battery, so be weary of swimming with it now.

On a side note... I've been meaning to ask you: What the actual F is your profile pic GIF about?! I don't know why, but it freaks me the F out!

there’s a (former) street artist from Brooklyn called Brian Donnelly who works under the pseudonym KAWS.
He uses ‘X X’ for eyes and the gif in my current profile pic is a ‘subversion’ of the Mickey Mouse character that KAWS is well known for, called a KAWS companion. It has stylised skull and cross bones in place of Mickey’s head.
Fortuitously, to bring us back to watches, he’s just done a collab with AP on a Concept Tourbillon

(perhaps you already knew this...) The watch is mechanical, so it doesn't have a battery. It is wound by wrist movement and powered by gears/springs.

Lol, yeah mate. That actually makes more sense.

Plenty of quartz watches made for pro divers . After a battery change any decent watch repair place should check or replace the seals and make sure it's pressure tested.

Tbf mechanical ones need servicing too and require their seals to be replaced.
6 to be precise - at least on the 16610 Submariner date anyway.

Every watch needs a gasket service now and again but very few ever see 200m.

Very true, I suspect the nearest the majority get is if their owner wears them in the shower or swimming pool

I think dive watches are pretty much redundant in the diving world (scuba at least) since the advent of the dive computer. That said, I've done plenty recreational dives and I have to say, there's not many who don't wear one!
