Water resistance of Sky-Dweller
Dear All,
Just joined the stainless steel/ white gold Sky-Dweller yesterday.

Best,
Henry

There are two O-rings keeping the water resistance between the pivot and the watch case. But as the oyster is famous for keeping the water resistance by double or even triple screw down crown, it makes me slightly nervous by using the O rings alone. Most ...
There's no need to adjust for GMT underwater
Besides, recreational Open-Water diver PADI recommended only to 30m, and by the time you go 100m, most likely one would be dead or unconscious.
The dial colour changes to almost solid black under sunlight.
Initally thought that 42mm size is a bit too big and the flutter bezel may be difficult to carry. But it turns out to be very comfortable on my 7.5 inch wrist and the bezel also looks alright in metal. Has been on my wrist non-stop for almost a week since...
