I'm no expert but the crown gasket seems wonky.

I love these threads... so is it a ten year old watch that's had the shit beat out of it and no service? Or did it just come from the factory? :scratch:

honestly, do you really care? if someone makes an account purely to bash a watch and posts cryptically, is it really something worth worrying about?

It sucks but things break.... and can usually be fixed. Might just be a crappy design. I'll give you $100 for it :)

Maybe it only made it to 18000 feet before blowing out the gasket. :shrug:

I agree. Perhaps OP took it to 20001 feet.

hi..it was a brand new watch purchased via Amazon UK. .full info supplied on the feedback I left the seller on amazon site..the owner of swiss military, frank was totally unhelpful- had a refund from luna pearls...they even contacted me a month later saying it had been repaired and would I like to re buy it at a reduced price...I bought it again and received it with the silicone washer still loose around the crown.....the watch is a joke..I since purchased a breitling avenger seawolf 2--a proper watch

hi..I'm sorry I didn't give any input on this feed earlier..I don't want to foul mouth a watch brand ...I've had many watches over many years..the swiss military seemed like an amazing watch.but the picture is how I received it..it even gave it a second chance but the swiss military owner frank was totally obnoxious with his condescending email reply.....it wouldn't want to send a watch back to him for a service....I'm a newbie to this so sorry for any confusion or non replies...thanks
