1967 Datejust 1601 water resistance?

Hey guys,

Got my 67' 1601 back from the watchmaker. Had a service last year, but went in this time for gasket / crystal replacement because the previous crystal recently cracked.

The crystal purchased is aftermarket (he is a very experienced watchmaker, over 30 years and sources the best quality).

Pressure testing passed.

I like to wear my watches all the time. I also go on vacation a lot and this is my daily, and feel more comfortable wearing it to the pool / ocean instead of leaving it in my room. but I always hear "it's an old watch, I wouldn't shower or swim with it" when dealing with vintage.


But if it passes pressure testing shouldn't it be okay?

May be an insane question

What're your thoughts?

I assume you should be ok if it passed a pressure test. Very little pressure would come from a dip in the pool or wearing the watch in the shower.
