Sealing and movement performance are separate questions. Ask a qualified watchmaker about inspection and testing appropriate to the particular watch and its intended use; a healthy rate does not establish water resistance.

Case 8 — Model comparison: dive bezel action and alignment, how to compare fairly
People keep comparing the bezels on two similar dive-style watches. One is called crisp, the other mushy, and alignment complaints come up for both. What would a fair comparison look like, and what is actually a defect versus a preference?

Case 32 — Model comparison: dive bezel action and alignment, how to compare fairly
Correction to earlier posts in similar threads: 120-click bezels aren't automatically worse. More positions means smaller steps, which can feel less pronounced. Comparing a 60-click and a 120-click bezel on crispness alone is apples to oranges. Compare same-click-count designs, or note the difference clearly.
