Just throwing it out there....does anyone pressure test their own watches, and if so what do you use.

I'm looking to pick up a relatively inexpensive tester that can test up to 300M. I know plenty are several thousand $, and you can get the Bergeons for around $650, but then you need a compressor. Any ideas?

I usually put mine in between my hands and press hard on it.

Seriously, I'm not sure about those but from what I read about pressure testers and such accessories they are rather expensive (and I mean more than 650$). I hope somebody will be able to tell me I'm wrong but in the mean time I can only with you good luck on your quest to find one!

I use a Bergeon 5555/10 at home. Mine tests to 10 atm. I test most my divers once or twice a year.
