The only watch on my rotation that I can wear (and want to wear) with bacon-necked t-shirt, flannel shorts, and slippers.

..And at the same time the old lady says that this should be my formal occasion watch.

Acquired this WB 1601 from 1971, last year - very pleased with it.

You seriously think a Kontiki or a UG could rival in the water departement?

On another note, I had always assumed that, like Gremlins, we should keep vintage watches away from water? I am flabbergasted to learn that a vintage 1960s Rolex could be used for diving. Is it because Rolex maintains production of all watch parts issued and that access to seals and such are still available or is it just better craftmanship?
Yes...

How about a UG Polerouter Super ?

I'm your huckleberry.馃槈

Over 25 years old, screw down crown, looks great on everything from Bonklip to leather to nato. Incredibly wearable and 36mm like your DJ.

There are 60's and 70's Seamasters that had good water resistance without clunky dive cases. If I remember tonight I'll check AJTT for a couple examples.
Any cosmic case Omega should survive in water
