Stupid questions or stupid for asking??? I'm not sure I'm entirely on-board with this concept. I know plenty of folks who spend huge money on 160 mph cars yet don't know one end of a torque wrench from another. Such is the way of the world. I find this thread condescending and opportunist. Any question, asked in earnest, deserves a non-derisive answer.

Come on, Pat....you should know me better than that by now. This whole thread was all in good humour.....and you know that's true.

Is it safe to leave my SDDS in a dry place at night, or do I have to keep
it in my aquarium over night?

Is it safe to snorkel with my new SDDS or will the new ringlock system
break down due to the lack of significant pressure?

I can't read the engravings on the "shelf" under the crystal on my new
SDDS. Am I going blind or do the engravings gradually fade when you
are not deep-sea diving with it?

If the valve is for helium to escape from, what happens to the other gasses?

There a difference between laughing about the dumb ass questions we know will come and treating someone badly when they ask one.

for example: will my wrist resist this very heavy watch?

mickeydainish · 6 April 2008, 09:42 PM

still loving this thread.... keep em cummin!!! :-)

I think very few of those questions would be asked by someone who can afford to buy a $12.5K wrist watch.

And how did helium got in there?

Best one so far

Second best (IMO)

What about a poll?

fquiroga · 6 April 2008, 11:57 PM

can I fish with it?

David1971 · 7 April 2008, 12:55 AM

The date on my SDDS change one minute past midnight, should I send it to RSC?

Let's not go there again!

astcell · 7 April 2008, 02:00 AM

Why is there a date on the watch? How many days do they expect me to stay at depth?

......b/c it will take "days" to adjust to the pressuse as you descend to 12,800 feet!

I took off my DS for a few days last week, and when I went to put it on again, it had stopped. I think this is totally unacceptable for a watch in this price range to have such short power reserve. My Seiko Kinetic can go almost six months! Also, now the date seems to change at noon! PLEASE HELP!

We now refer to you folks as "noon-ers"

Arrows58 · 7 April 2008, 03:55 AM

This could be such an informative thread but no-one seems to posting any answer?? Should I wait for all the answers before I buy one??
