Just a WIS in Singapore doing crazy stuff to his Seiko 007. I'm sure that the old Timex commercials played a role in setting the stage for this but its still fun to watch and see what happens. |

Good question. If there is already too much moisture inside the case then that is certainly possible. Remember that these are ISO rated 200m divers so they should be sealed against moisture intrusion under "normal" conditions but boiling does strange things to materials (expands them and contracts them as the temps change) so the gaskets may suffer. 316 SS should not suffer under the 0F to 212F range in any appreciable way. |
