Okay think of it this way...have you ever been swimming in a pool with a high dive board?
The pit is about 15 feet deep.
Have you ever swum to the bottom of that pit?
Did you ears almost burst?
You are NOT going any deeper than that without tanks.
If you are going to use tanks get a dive watch.
This watch will likely NOT leak as deep as you can swim.
Put a new tube in it. If the watchmaker replaces the flat gasket with an o ring with a cross diameter substantial enough to meet the middle case and case back surfaces and closes it as tightly as they can with a hand wrench it will likely not leak at the back even with the corrosion.
If you uncase the movement and put the watch case with all parts installed, ie., back, tube, crown and crystal, in a proper WET testing device...as Rolex intended, you can see EXACTLY where that case is compromised and address it. You will NEVER go lower than a full pull in that style of a tester without tanks...and like I said...if you're going with tanks...a 1002 is NOT your watch.
