So how many people with this leather strapped watch are gonna swim with it? let alone take it to 50 or 100 m?
Come on guys, For $280 plus p&p this watch is for nothing.......
Water-resistance is not what it seems in the watch-making statements...
A 30m WR would hold humidity away and may take water just with a swim...
I would say that it's only from 100m and up that the WR is starting to be good enough to use with light water-sports and take small dives in the pool without fear of getting it soaked: IF the 10 bars test is performed properly by the maker....
Keep in mind that you may reach this pressure just by falling in the water while jet-skiing...
This understood, the Regattare Bronze is just good for a shower.
Read there and you will get it:
