I am.
Some years ago my Grandad died, and left some money behind for me. As a kid I always used to wind his watch for him - I've always had a thing for watches, and when he died I asked if I could have his watch. However my uncle took it thinking it was worth something (it wasn't - other than sentimental), so I decided to buy a nice watch with some of the money left to me to remind me of him.
I've had the watch now (my every day watch) for about 5 years now, and have always thought that it isn't waterproof (there are no markings on the watch to indicate otherwise). I even checked on the website, but info is scant on there to say the least, what information they do have is almost impossible to read.
For some reason I decided to contact the makers, and after a few emails I've discovered that it is waterproof. Apparently 'they' don't stamp them with a depth, but they are 'good until you need breathing aparatus'.
So all this time I've spent cleaning the watch carefully with a toothbrush and a bowl of soapy water and I didn't have to!
