My watch repair skills are limited. One of them is the ability to refinish stainless steel watch cases. That and the fact that I just like how stainless looks is why I tend to avoid even coated stainless.

Hi E, this case is waterproof you said? Did you modded/added the gaskets yourself or it is already supplied ready by River?Emilio wrote:It's been 2 years now. The only thing I have observed is that when you swim with this on a pool with chlorine or salt, you get white deposits on the surface (but it can be cleaned afterwards).
Maybe a stock caseback from the other reps/homages might fit.
If you need the diameter of the thread, let me know.

Re: New material for cases like Carbonite,Carbotech etc opinios ?
Usally the coated surfaces are done in the factories,polishing an be done at home with Dremel tools and the rest.
But specialized coating is not for hobbyist i think to be done at home even though some have done it after building a small lab,
which after a point defeats the idea of a hobby.So yes i only polish steel as well!
PS I like the cat in your avatar!

Obviously he must used a proper gasket at the crown,if there is no pressure at the watch (small depths) the crown is usually the watches weakest point.
