If they do only test to 3 bar it should be made clear before servicing because there’s no way you could trust a watch for diving or even swimming if it’s only tested as being safe for washing your hands.

Re: WR testing by CW after repair/service

This is what Bremont say about their servicing, I guess they don't work to industry standard .

Re: Twelve Alta Gold

The Tissot PRX costs £640 with a steel bezel and £1800 with gold, which is almost the same upgrade cost as the CW Twelve but includes the dealer markup.

Re: HELP! Stripped torx screw

Drill down the centre from the torx head side. Use a 1mm drill at high speed, then slowly go up in size to about 1.5mm.
