Pressure testing Nautilus,Aquanaut

Question ,to those who are regulalry expose their PPs to water ,how often you guys bring your watches to pressure test ,yearly or more often ?Have they ever failed or passed everytime.Do you know if PP use wet or dry testers in their SCs?

I do it once a year but I feel it a bit overkill.


Thanks for you input

Once a year at H Stern- takes 10
minutes. Always passed I believe it's dry but not 100% sure.

Do you make an appointment? And wait in a waiting area while it's being carried out? I'm local and would like to get my 5167 tested yearly.

Pressure testing Nautilus,Aquanaut

After getting moisture into my 3.5 year old 5711 through failed seals I think it's a good idea if your near a SC.

Sweet! What if you are not local? Pay for shipping to and from?

I heard that the Patek one watch carriers (pouches?) are really nice.

So for example can you drop into the london boutique with no appointment and quickly get it tested for free?
