: having any nightmares!!!

: Thanks

Let me tell you guys, this watchmaker in my area is awesome! I took my watch in yesterday to have it tested for water resistant. And he did the air test for FREE. Eventhough he said he cannot 100% garantee that the watch is fine for diving but at least I know the watch is water resistant and free of charge from him. He mentioned that if I am still not comfortable, I should have the gasket replaced. But since last time he opened up and checked my watch, the gasket was fine. So I did not do that and I think the watch will be fine. Do you guys know how long a gastket would last before I really need to replace them?
