Bas, Peter, and William - thank you so much! I really appreciate it! I'll plan to service more frequently.

I talked to a Rolex AD and they said that they would not pressure test a Rolex under warranty and instead would send it to RSC for this. It looks like there are inexpensive (bit over 100 USD) pressure testers on Amazon that have a pretty straightforward function of placing the watch in a cylinder chamber with the watch suspended above a water line, the air in the chamber is compressed allowing the pressure inside the watch to build and then equalize over a few minutes, after which the watch is lowered into the water, and then the air pressure is reduced to see how much air leaks out of the watch. Any thoughts on using one these? Is this one of those straight forward things that is reasonably safe or something to avoid like the plague?
