Hi Newbie here - name's jasper

I'm wondering what the water resistance is of the GMT.

I've been wearing my Omega Speedmaster Pro for the last ten years and have always told myself it's the only watch I'll ever need (I really do love it). But in my heart of hearts I've always wanted a Rolex. Next year I'm taking an international assignment so this seems like the perfect time to buy a muti time zone Rolex right?

Well, the deal is the Speedy is not even a bit waterproof, and I'm thinking a sub would actually be better choice, just to round out the collection you know. Thing is I don't go in the water much at all, and when I do it's only splashing around with the kids.

Will the GMT go swimming safely ?
