Thanks! We are one victim short of 100K. Where do we find him.
Any chance you could get rid of the writing on the crowns?

What depth can the internal bezel be used to?
Crowns are changing a bit to make them easier to turn, I think the writing will stay. I dont know specifics on the depth you can change the bezel at, but my designer says that the O rings should keep water out underwater even when the crown is out.

^ Your designer says the o-rings "should" keep water out. That doesn't seem very precise to me.

Mmm. So they've not been tested in real-world use?

How many O-rings on the crown stem? I'd suggest you need 2 on the bezel crown if it's to be operated in the water.

I'd suggest a bezel operating depth of 70-80m is necessary. That allows normal recreational diving to 30-40m with a decent margin.

The crown writing is a bit Hollywood...but that might be your intent :think:

Somehow missed these Eric !

Love the modern feel, but how it's rooted in that old super compressor
design, and honors both them, and newer divers. ..Actually is like the
son, or grandson of the compressor case classics ! :) :thumbsup:

Thanks a lot Eric, and Reuven !!!
