Mine is not watertight Obviously there is a problem with the seal, but watch states its waterproof to 50 metres.

Feel free to snicker amongst yourselves I heard someone here bought one, "and in typical TVR style, the seconds hand fell off..." So, before I return it to Silverstone TVR, I wanted to find out if mine was the only leaky one.

Ive had dozens of watches, never ever had a problem with water, and am wondering if its a one off fault, or a batch fault. Do they all do that sir?

Im speaking to silverstone - they've been really friendly/helpful, and will deal with me despite the fact that I dont have an invoice (it was a gift)... it seems. Just waiting to hear from them

Damn shame (that it leaks!)... its such a nice watch!

Watches can be very misleading. Splashproof means "take it off before doing the washing up". Waterproof to 50 metres usually means "probably best to take it off before having a shower or bath ". Anything that states it is pressure tested to 100 metres and beyond begs the question "Shouldn't you really be wearing a dive computer and air tanks, etc".
