I’ve never seen any official statement from any watchmaker...but more general advice I’ve seen from the watch community.
salt water and diving in general is pretty hard on watches, sure they are tough watches and built to take it, but it still takes its toll... and seeing as how seawater intrusion into the case and watch work is just about the worst thing that can happen to a watch....spending a few hundred annually on a service, if only to inspect and replace seals Is cheap insurance on not what is only a $7-12,000 watch, but also a piece of dive equipment
That being said, it’s your money/ watch, I’m not going to try and convince you to change what is obviously working for you. However in a sense, you are essentially having your watches “ serviced” to the extent that you need when you have them pressure tested.
personally I just don’t dive with expensive watches....I use a seiko skx007 and a gshock when I dive/ swim.....they work just fine and I’m not going to be heartbroken if something happens to them.
^^^^^ Exactly this. Can't write it myself any better.
