I'm confused.  Maybe I'm missing something here.  I've had my
plane-jane Uwatec brass and glass gauge way past 500 feet and it's
never given me any trouble.  It always reads correctly, and it
doesn't bend, crack, or implode.  Plastic gauges do stick, but then
that's why I don't have any.

What brass gauges are you guys using that are sticking at depth?  And
if the glass is bowing in enough to make the indicator stick, how is
it that it doesn't crack?
