I wear mine pretty regularly, but avoid wearing it in very wet weather, or generally when there may be significant water present (beach or on the occasion I am forced to wash up).
Also, if I am somewhere where I am concerned for my safety, I will wear a Casio or a seiko diver if I want to keep the same vibe.
The 16800s are not super valuable (still a lot, but thousands, but not tens of thousands)- and they are made to be worn, so enjoy (unless yours is an absolute minter never polished, and no scratches at all - or you have just bought it as an investment piece).
Anyway - those are my thoughts, which may not be the same as others.
