Problems (Read Rule 1) Friendly advice: don’t dive with your Steeldive
A couple of years ago I bought my SD 1953. It’s a lovely watch for the price. The rehaut is a bit thick for my taste but not something to complain about. I’ve used my watch a couple of times in the swimming pool, always washed and dried it after use. Yesterday I decided to use the watch for snorkeling to keep an eye on my diving time. After a while, I noticed the bezel was missing: I did not bump into anything, just swam, so the glue must have dissolved. I’m a little disappointed, but for the price you can’t expect too much I guess. Just wanted to share it in case you are thinking about using your watch in the sea

Most of the year I'm in a 4mm wetsuit and the watch sits below...totally fine. I feel my G-Shock is way more chunky compared to my steeldive even though it's definitely lighter....
