The Biggest Problem With A Luxury Dive Watch

[@kopite1892ynwa]

Nope I jump right in with my seamaster, same with the sea 🤷🏻‍♂️🤣

[@yamiii1776]

Same! 😂

[@alfonso4613]

Also me 😂 but if it’s in the sea then I just clean it with fresh water to eliminate the salt but the rest 👌

[@brandon-kg2vd]

I have gone diving with a seiko 5 sport with 100m water resistance and no screw down crown. If you're this paranoid about your watch, maybe rethink why you bought it and how much you are willing to do with it

[@juliusapriadi]

...and when you come back from the pool, it turns out to be stolen from inside the safe.

[@dyslexicbien]

Lmao nooo 😂

[@indrajitsg]

You carefully put your seamaster in the safe and lock it. Then you put on your always reliable Seiko Orangemaster Diver on your wrist and head for the pool 😅

[@BillWest-n6e]

If you are worried about a 300m dive watch being in 2m of water, dont buy a dive watch.

[@ewan_ou182]

I only buy dive watches, purely because they are so versatile. My fav is the Omega 43.5mm, but I love my IWC Aquatimer, although I had previously used my Tag Aquaracer 500m as my go to watch. I never need to, nor do I want to hesitate or worry about them being emerged into water. Its why i bought them! Enjoy your watches - every day.

[@Leeuwke131]

Nahh, I go everywhere with my Seamaster. Pool, sea, jumping off a boat. It can take a beating

[@EricDolecki]

No. Never. Wear the hell out of your dive watch. Pool. Shower. Don’t take it off. Enjoy.

[@ostravia]

Even if you do not screw in the crown you are still good for 5 m even whilst swimming on this watch. Do your research.

[@matthewcoupeofficial]

50m*** due to the crown design

[@JosephCarcasole]

Just enjoy your watch. If you're locking it in the hotel safe because the crown might be open even though you've checked, that's OCD, my friend. Time for some Paxil. Or just get a Mido Multifort with the cork aquadura seal. You can wind, pull out crown, and set under water with those.

[@beanwithbaconmegarocket]

Huh? G-shock makes a great watch which might be more your speed. (Not disparaging G Shocks, I have 3.)

[@Lawrence64]

I come from the military and double check everything. I will dive in and have a great time. It reminds me of Rolex's bunch that don't go out with it afraid of being robbed. You licked some butts to get it and are now hostage of a "thing"... The military also taught me to carry and use a gun and I live in a free state...sorry for the rant. 😅

[@garytodd9841]

All of my dive watches have been diving.

[@mrb6597]

The biggest problem is that people who never swim a day in their life wear them around like they are Jacques motherfucking Cousteau. 😂

[@actraiser123]

You mean that people should not wear dive watches in the day to day, unless they are on vacation or going to swim?.

[@mrb6597]

@@actraiser123 No. I mean people, for example, like a guy who wears a Rolex Deepsea at their office on the 50th floor of their Manhattan office building. And then goes on vacation to Las Vegas. It looks ridiculous

[@jtirello3_111]

@@mrb6597 you absolutely reek of envy.

[@Harry-tb8yo]

Why is that a problem? My mother cannot swim at all but wears her Seamaster 300 with pride and joy. Dive watches, at least many of them, look good and are more robust than other watches. So even if you don't swim or dive they are good everyday watches.

[@Harry-tb8yo]

@@mrb6597 Is it less ridiculous to wear a watch with lower WR then? Does a Submariner or Seamaster with 300m of WR cope better with the harsh conditions in Vegas? And on the 50th floor in Manhattan?

[@Harry-tb8yo]

There are only two things I don't do with my Seamasters (got three of them): sleeping and doing physical work. When I sleep I don't need to track time and when I do physical work a watch disturbs me. When I visit my sisters family however and head to the pool it's always them who are concerned: "Oh no! Your watch!" And I never have to double check for the crown because it is always screwed down after adjusting it.

[@harryh536]

Luxry dive watches are like the top speed of a sports car. Knowing what they can do is cool enough, you don't have to actually do it.

[@williamwhite1982]

If these are your thoughts perhaps you shouldn’t have splurged or maybe you shouldn’t hold so tightly to the things of this world.

[@stupidocanerosa]

Got a Luminor Marina. Never had this kind of problems. And I really wore it for years, literally in every kind of water. Not a single drop of it got inside the case.

[@Peter-Alexander]

Even worse....I don't take a luxury watch on holiday.

[@yaaxarr8977]

Facts !

[@craigsbully]

why?

[@dmedwardsiii]

biggest problem with my watches is that they take up real estate on my left wrist, where my computer, and tablet are. no room for a watch

[@martina6212]

No date Seamaster? What model is that?

[@igor240898433]

I also wanna know 😁

[@chewbacca6630]

If you're worried about something, anything, expensive getting ruined while diving... maybe don't dive. I only wear a dive watch in anticipation of my very expensive dive computer failing.

[@alpinebreed1774]

This is is insanity. It's a dam watch.

[@ALL-il1sw]

Displaying an Omega for this was a poor choice, they're actually made to be worn.

[@actraiser123]

Been there, done that… it happened to my Aquaterra. Brand new. Just 1 month and back to Swatch group for repair as the crystal showed steam. Other brands have a red marker on the thread so you clearly reminded that the crown is right or not. Done know why Omega being as expensive as it is, does not include it.

[@HL-OOI]

I just don’t like the early service bill.. 😂

[@TimothyW8]

If you can’t lose it and then replace it without worrying, then you can’t afford to own it.

[@highnrising]

Those thoughts never cross my mind. I never have a problem jumping into a pool or the ocean or lake with my Omega or G-P dive watch. Beats leaving my watch inside my sneaker along the shore.

[@speedracer2please]

My other problem is the screw-down crown adds an extra step every time you need to set or adjust it. Some days I just won't feel like setting it, especially if it also has the day and date.

[@DhruveelDave]

Or just get a GShock.

[@j.p.9522]

Andrew Morgan was the soul of this channel.

[@hodad924]

Just check the crown before going in, takes a split second

[@dmora2386]

Nope, mine is my daily driver aka my literal beater. The novelty of the thing wears off pretty quickly, particularly if you have multiple.

[@ryanbidyk3551]

I wear my Rolex date just in the ocean, shower, pool. No issues. My omegas too

[@montys8th]

Wait....a no date Seamaster Professional? What is this sorcery?

[@iBJanky]

I scuba dive with my Rolex Submariner all the time

[@normm1619]

The biggest problem is scratching it on the concrete…

[@theamazingmrz317]

I’ve dived many times with my 16613 sub. It’s what it’s made to do…

[@toddpower4674]

In the pool for me, I do check the crown now and then. SD 43 for me

[@adamcarter699]

30 times the depth of a swimming pool? I'm pretty sure hotels don't have 10m deep pools.

[@Saelestria-jd3uq]

And then there's James Bond.

[@epbrown01]

Who doesn’t screw down their crown? How is that something people worry about?

[@igor240898433]

We don't give a f..k who swims with a watch or not, we want to know which Seamaster is this?

[@bdcarroll415]

I've had my Rolex for almost 40 years. Put it through hell in high water. Yes, once it cost me about $2000. I forgot to tighten the Crown, Swimming in mexico, but it wasn't a dive watch. It was a GMT MASTER Pepsi.. And of course, I got salt water in it.. So I sent it to Rolex. They gave me brand new works for about two thousand dollars. I was lucky, I knew the jeweler who had some connections with Rolex...? Lessons learned. It was still nice for Rolex to honor that for me. Now, in today's day and age, cleaning for my watch.It's almost two thousand dollars..😊🙄 And of course, the watch is 5 times the price then what I paid.😊.. Pros and cons of owning an expensive watch. I still put it through hell and high water..😅. Only d*** watch I will ever own.😊

[@Lord_englishgent]

Thats the new unreleased Seamaster that Daniel Craig had on his wrist, no date and printed wave pattern

[@robbie330]

I’m going to start a watch company and only produce replicas of luxury dive watches. I’m going to call the company Poolmaster.

[@eg4059]

Is that new „Daniel Graig Olymics“ seamaster ???

[@MB-jn5zi]

Forget luxury, Citizen ecodrive promaster... some people on youtube have used it for 23 years fine no service!

[@Crownof12stars]

Citizen is also luxury. Dont be fooled by these youtubers. My orient star diver is luxury. Built just as good as a swiss watch. An will be very collectible like a swiss watch. Citizens high end watches are class.. just like orients high end watches.

[@VMIyanks04]

Hahaha so true! Well for most watch enthusiasts. But certainly not me, no never!

[@tornagawn]

This is why I have a trio of Casio Duro watches and a Citizen Promaster ISO certified dive watch, all for under $500 (Citizen was second hand mint condition from Amazon)

[@craigsbully]

lol! You don't get the point of a luxury watch; do you?

[@antonhallergren588]

It's an oxymoron. Hence why I always prefer pre ceramic seamasters and subs. Just as ceramic is really fugly on divers, I feel the same way about faux rivets. Peak dive watches are seikos, doxas, citizens, tudor subs and other vintage pieces like seamasters or rolex subs

[@Optimistic450]

I have a Casio duro and it’s stays dry.

[@floridaman727]

My pelagos and planet ocean sea 60ft in the gulf more than any other watches. Use them they are great!

[@menandtheirwatches5026]

Haha this is surely a comedy. There is nothing like going for a scuba dive or a swim in the pool with an expensive Swiss dive watch. But very funny paranoia humour!

[@adamjustinmoseley]

Is that one of the ceramics?

[@ek_capital8653]

no problem with mine, swim it in the sea, in the pool, up to the hill and down to the water, all day long. That is what it's built for

[@joonkt3483]

These kind of ppl are not worthy to own such a watch. They might as well buy a Casio and call it a day.

[@calindor19]

Remember tigh and let enjoy

[@harry-eto]

No. Not at all. Re-tighten and go

[@abymathew295]

So I'm not alone....That's exactly what I do with my Aquis Diver..🤣😂

[@RegiGonzalez]

I jump in to the pool and sea, with every dive watch I have, dont over think!!!!

[@CHMichael]

Usually don't see these wathes below 100ft

[@taylorbarton1970]

Not me

[@sealofthesea5233]

And that’s why I buy cheaper homages and microbrands…

[@69F3L1KS69]

Bullshit, the seamaster IS the watch to use. it looks cool, but survives anything. 😂

[@EricZ726]

If that’s the issue, sure thing this guy is putting his pants on backwards and forgets to zip up. Obviously this is not a right watch for such person. Just saying.

[@jasonbradley9256]

I go through same problem in the bath..!! 😩

[@Peter-Alexander]

Because of the warm temperature o rings expand, so don't use it in a bath or sauna is my advice.

[@calindor19]

Who swiming with omega?

[@grossevernor]

Never happened

[@Michael-2Australia]

What about if the world isn't really a globe🤔😉

[@tizzy6]

No matter how many high-end watches you own, everybody thinks like this. They’re not simply valuable. They are keepsakes that have an intangible meaning.

[@Peter-Alexander]

That's why I'll never take any watch to the beach. It's just an awful and harsh environment for a delicate watch. I don't swim, bathe or sauna with a watch either.

[@tizzy6]

@@Peter-Alexander il wear em to a pool but sand is a killer to metals especially finally tunes ones lol

[@TigerCarpenter]

I wear my luxury dive watch 24h, even for paintball. If you remove dive watch before swimming, you can't afford your watch. People swimming without a watch look like losers lol

[@ruditriest7093]

What a load of crap

[@whereRbearsTeeth]

Dumb

[@craigsbully]

LOL!! if you can't afford to wreck it you shouldn't own it! I have never thought of that problem. if it gets water in it send it back to Omega to fix it,
