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

toph · 23 September 2012, 08:56 PM

Yes it's 100m rated but is capable of more. Oyster case:)
Cherrs

Zdenek · 23 September 2012, 08:56 PM

Why not?

The GMT Master · 23 September 2012, 08:59 PM

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

mjclark32 · 23 September 2012, 09:09 PM

You sure can, enjoy

landroverking · 23 September 2012, 09:35 PM

All Oysters are made for water. Vintage rated to 50m(165ft)
Modern day rated as stated above to 100m(330ft).

Art 1 · 23 September 2012, 09:45 PM

I can.

DiamondJack · 23 September 2012, 09:58 PM

Remember everyone.... Safety first.....owning a GMTIIc does not necessarily mean you can swim ......

nick c · 23 September 2012, 10:01 PM

bayerische · 23 September 2012, 10:02 PM

LMAO! These watches should come with swimming lessons.

kilyung · 24 September 2012, 12:22 AM

I'd say ok to water activities...

cedargrove · 24 September 2012, 12:27 AM

I can and I do, but then again I am an excellent swimmer.

Roller07 · 24 September 2012, 12:39 AM

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

FremStar · 24 September 2012, 12:45 AM

I think so...

Psmith · 24 September 2012, 12:46 AM

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

gmtm2 · 24 September 2012, 01:03 AM

yes of course...

It also doesn't mean you can fly.

dpkong · 24 September 2012, 01:55 AM

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..

Watchonisto · 24 September 2012, 01:56 AM

Sure

Kingair · 24 September 2012, 01:59 AM

OMG you go with your Rolex in water . . . . ;-)

Daredevils !

Silvio Mosiello · 24 September 2012, 02:02 AM

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

mrbill2mrbill2 · 24 September 2012, 02:10 AM

Yes!
