    Hello all,

    I am a new proud owner of the gorgeous Portoguese Chronograph 3714 and I read on IWC website about the water resistant of the watch is 3 bar and it is good for "water surface", of course I would not take my leather strap into the water but I would want to know more about the water resistance rating. Is it ok to wear it in the pouring rain? Clean it with water once in a while or even perhaps wear it in the swimming pool sometimes (as IWC indicates that 3 bar is good for swimming?)

    I would love to hear from all the experienced owners out there.

    And I am sorry if I posted in the wrong place, I am new to the IWC community.

    Thanks,

    You could easily swim with the watch without problems.
