low cost spg

I was browsing through northerntools.com recently and came upon this:

Valley Instrument 2 1/2in. Stainless Steel Glycerin Gauge — 0-5000 PSI | Filled Gauges | Northern Tool + Equipment

Thinking about using this as a scuba pressure gauge...any thoughts on that?
It's liquid filled so it should be ok underwater. Where could I get a high pressure hose with the correct fiting though?

Ya think its worth the 40 bucks saved?

Nickel rocketry and diving are mutually exclusive in the real world.

Remember, this is a major componant of your Scuba Gear, if it screws up when you are underwater you might end up dead but still having saved $40! Is it worth taking the chance?

For $60 this one comes with a hose - and a temperature gauge.

Why does the picture only show 400psi max?

*I* wouldn't feel comfortable using it. Also, glycerin is not O2 compatible (if that would be an issue).
