How tough is that Seiko anyway?

This from a Singapore WIS site

Translation thanks to Music Healing:

He torture the SKX007
- he set the time equal to his Samurai

the he begin the test..
1. water resistance test
he keep the skx006 in pool at 1,7 meter deep for 35 hours
no harms done


2. freeze test
he freeze the skx007 in refrigerator for 9 hours
no harms done at all

3. suddent temperature and boil test
he suddenly boiled the ice block with skx007 to boiling state for 4-5 minutes

no harms done

4. my colleague are so happy and forget then take the watch

outh is hot, he instinctively throw the skx007 to the brick

no harms done

Did they copy that from TIMEX?

Sorry, couldn't resist

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.

. . . Well, next time i get frozen into a block of ice or fall into a vat of boiling liquid . . . I hope I'm wearing my Seiko!!!!

Come on doc, you can see the same crap on the invicta website!! If invicta can last and take a beating i sure as hell HOPE a seiko can!! Check it out!

Trev,

Never said it was unique or telling - merely entertaining. As for visiting Invicta websites

i never have just took JS's word about the love and torture section on the site! That might be another lil fib to sell watches!

Doc this is INCREDIBLE sir ! ..On a side note..just wondering here..Does
the huge temperature change from cold to hot, hot to cold eventually cause
water condensation inside these Seikos ? Just curious about this !..Thanks !

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.

Thanks for the insight !..I know this is an EXTREME test ! Definitely wouldn't be
trying this with just any watch, or a Seiko either..when I get one !
