Hello Folks,

This topic might raise some hackles, but I have to ask. I have just purchased my first 'vintage' Rolex, a 1980 one owner Explorer 1016, in oh so lovely condition! I also own a Submariner Date that I bought new in 1998, and I do wear that one in the Ocean here in Australia from time to time.

Question is, I tend to like to 'use' my watches, and this often involves going into water. This means, I do anticipate swimming in the ocean on the odd occasion with my 1016. Obviously the watch has been serviced, is in pristine condition and has been pressure checked. Do other vintage owners use their's as intended, that is under the water?

Keen to know what others do.

Adam
