Can you swim with GMT IIC?
No mention of any type of water resistance is mentioned on face. Looks like a Sub.. Can it handle a bit of water activities?

100m water rated like all Rolex Oysters - more than fine for pretty much anything in the water

Don't try it. I just kept going in circles.
Couldn't stop looking at the pepsi on my wrist.

It might dizzolve in salt water...
But seriously, give it a good rinse in clean water after putting it in sea water or chlorinated pool water

I did dive in the Great Barrier Reef in Queenslands with it last year and usually wear it when swimming in the pool or in the hot spring as well.

I have always taken my Rolex along for water activities. That's what warranty is for. Much more risky to take it off and possibly drop/lose it.
But beware, the newer models are heavy and may drag you into the deep.. hahaha.. |

It will be fine. Try to not go deeper than 300ft if you can manage that
