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 ?
I have had mine on the wrist for 23 years (aside from service). I swim and shower and have never had water ingress problems.
