more to the point is i wish more watches had slightly higher WR than splash resist so i could feel comfortable going to the pool with it and traveling without worrying about it. i know most on here don't feel comfortable with <100m doing those things but patek and AP say it's fine for surface swimming the 5712 and the jumbo provided they are pressure tested.

A few years ago, I had just gone swimming with my AP RO (50m) and happened to meet the CEO of Lange. As I was trying on his Odysseus, we spoke about the swim and he visibly recoiled in horror. Read into that what you will...
I no longer swim with any watch that isn't at least 100m water-resistant and recently serviced.
On second thoughts, maybe that's why I didn't get allocated an Odysseus.
