No, vintage Rolex watches are NOT waterproof. Over time, gaskets and seals degrade, and even watches that were originally designed for water resistance can no longer be trusted against moisture and humidity.
Even with new gaskets and successful pressure testing, there is absolutely no guarantee of water resistance. We strongly advise against submerging your vintage Rolex watch in water.
To keep your timepiece safe:
• Avoid wearing it in the shower, swimming pool, or rain.
• Have it regularly checked for water resistance (if applicable).
• Store it in a dry place when not in use.
