Well steam wasn't a problem an hour ago for my WG Daytona. It goes into the steam room regularly and doing this doesn't worry me and hasn't caused any problems with this or any other watch I wear!

Stop worrying about them, just wear them!

Came across this page in the economist (credits) and although it was a Blancpain sponsored page it had a bit of a James Cameron link.

Wow incredible photo and even cooler sharing how you made that shot. Looks way more complicated than I thought haha...

I'm still waiting for my 16710 to break after taking it into a little water this year.

Thank you. Regarding shot setup that is actually a very simple one, elaborate ones can have more flashes, soft boxes and all kinds of add ons :D

Loving your 16710! Just be careful with it, designed for the sky not the sea LOL!

I don't own a camera only a phone. On Sunday mornings I'm usually the only one in there so it's no big deal. If someone came in the phone goes away
