That watch is 31 years old.........so the obvious question is when was it last serviced and pressure tested?

Once you've ascertained that, then it should be good to go to at least 50m (165 ft.)!!

Otherwise, contact a good Rolex watchmaker.

You will get the correct answer when you come up from the pool.

Just change the gaskets and do a pressure test, then it will be ok to swim with it. You should change gaskets at least
every 24 months to be safe.

Wow, the two masters have spoken.

Yup, what they said. Find out when was it serviced last. A pressure testing will give you ultimate peace of mind.

There will be no problemos with that, it's a Rolex. If you are getting very deep, just trade it for a Submariner.
