Are ROLEX the only ones who are allowed to use the term Waterproof as opposed to all the rest who never use that term, but instead say Water-resistant only?

Good question..
There is a standard that covers what can or cannot be called a waterproof vs water resistant watch..
Standard ISO 2281:1990 ... I'm not going to get into it, except to say that they have determined how you can mark or market certain water-resistant attributes of a watch..and specifies language......Here it is here if anybody is interested:

Diver watches are not covered by this... they are considered differently as they are waterproof and must meet certain stiffer testing standards... ISO 6425:1996
