Should I get new 16800 waterproof check?

Bought a 16800 last week from someone on VRF. Watch is in fantastic shape, running very accurately. That being said, I am going to be in S. Florida next weekend and would like to enjoy the watch at the beach. Should I get the seals checked? How much would this cost? Do I also need a pressure test?

If it passes the pressure test then it means all your seals and gaskets are properly working and keeping the watch waterproof.
