·Hi,
I would love to get a waterproof vintage watch to use when I'm out on the boat or swimming. Currently I'm using a Seiko diver, but not really happy with it since it can't be manually wound, looks too contemporary and I'm not really feeling the diver aspect either.
So maybe an old Tudor in an Oyster case would be good. Would love to know if these are actually waterproof enough that you can swim and surface dive with them?
Is there anything else I should take into account when buying a vintage Tudor? I would like the watch to be affordable, simple to service and keeping reasonable time. Would this mean a manually wound movement would be my best bet? Something like this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/262824656514?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
I thank you for your advice!
