They come with A Declaration of Conformity, so I'll wager they do what they say on the tin.
Where human life is involved, manufacturers won't piss about!

I think they should come with a declaration that you’re going to use said timepiece as the manufacturer intended.

Who is envious? And why?

My Breitling SuperOcean has been worn 24/7 for the last 20yrs.
It gets a Maintenance service every 2yrs

And a Complete service every 6yrs

It's cheaper to service the car!

Pampered life!

Mine only go back when they no longer keep time or lose functionality. The Chronomatic had stopped completely so had a full service for the first time in 17 years, the Chrono Avenger had a warranty job early in its life (so 20+ years ago) but one of the pushers is sticky and a spruce up of the internals wouldn't hurt.

Thing is Darrell, it doesn't matter what you think?

Of course it doesn’t and I certainly know it but you obviously left your sense of humour somewhere.

It wasn't actually funny from here?
But fair enough.

I was so impressed by this video that I bought the watch

They don't need to, it's only a way one valve. Helium has tiny molecules, which penetrate the 'O' ring, going through the actual rubber/silicon,thus pressuring the inside of the watch. As the external pressure becomes less, the internal pressure pushes the Crystal out, usually.
Only of any use if your a 'Saturation Diver'.
To be fair I don't know anyone who dives without a Dive Computer.
Dive watches are mere jewellery these days.
I certainly wouldn't risk my Omega scraping across North Sea Granite!

My sentiments exactly.

This is what OP needs!

My watch has never leaked ... Mind you it's never been down 5000ft either!

My Superocean is rated 500m / 1650ft - does yours have a helium escape valve?
