Dievas Aqualuna 1000m leaked

[Nurbisa]

I would like to share with you guys the story I have experienced with this Dievas Aqualuna watches.

I am a small time watch collector and focused my collection on dive watches from microbrands to Rolex DSSD and this passion for dive watches is linked to my sport activity since i got my PADI diving license.

I won the watch during the lucky draw for the Asian Geographic held at Novena Square ...the spanking new Dievas Aqualuna 1000m (read 1000m!) before the nightmare began...

After a dive at a depth of 90 meters in Sipadan Borneo, the watch was completely flooded! Quiet a dissapointment for a piece supposed to be 1000 meters waterproof ... i sent back to Anders of Gnomon @ Shaw Towers and got it back after about 3 weeks of changing maybe the O ring gasket and testing.

What i am puzzled here was how come a diving watch rated to withstand 1000m depth and MADE IN GERMANY have this kind of flaws. So guys, if you into dive watches, take a plunge and see whether your watch really waterproof as claimed!

first question to ask - is the rating self declared by watch maker, or certified by a third party to demonstrate compliance to ISO 6425/ ISO 2281, or a similar industry standard for water rating?

To be honest.....i dun trust the depth rating from micro brands.......

i guess so bro, maybe can withstand the kitchen sink depth or the jacuzzi only..

having a stamp on the dial and engrave on caseback doesnt equate to being compliant to ISO or equivalent water rating test standards

i recently saw 'REG TM' engraved on a micro-brand copycat of the panerai luminor crown protector - doesnt mean it is the registered trademark - it just shows how low copycats can stoop

the reason why micro brands remain micro and never make it big is they dont have a genuine interest in the quality of their products

agreed with you, I heard a lot of complains about brand like Movas (Movement of Asia) from few forums too..
