Well, I see that I have caused an interesting debate. Perhaps we all missed one possible variable in the equation - the watch may have already had a faulty part of been in need of servicing....

That's what I'm thinking. I play a little golf, not a scratch golfer mind you but if my arms could generate as many G's at above my wrist as an Apollo Moon rocket then I think all my watches would be dead...... and I'd never EVER find any of my wayward balls

Hello All,
I have had several speedy pros over the years, I am especially fond of the early 861 movement models, but always end up letting them go. the reason, to me they are a sport watch and do not have enough waterproofing to meet my needs. I want my sport watch to be one where I can play golf, hunt, fish and swim without any concern. I had one speedy not survive a round of golf and would not even consider swimming with one. My question to you - do any of the speedmasters have a waterproof rating of 100m? I would consider that safe to swim in. I seem to recall that the more recent 41mm Schumacher models with black and white dials are 100m rated. Is that the case?
my speedy GMT broadarrow is rated at 100 m
