: Anyway, anybody out there ever had this kind

: Constellations?

Unlikely. That is a massive expense on a vintage watch that will trash its value. Extreme customizations like that are not cheap and make the wtach virtually impossible to resell. Making vintage watches highly water-resistant is very difficult too as the aged cases are no longer in factory spec tolerances. And there is no such thing as "truly waterproof" unless you imbed it in a block of 3" thick lucite.

So why not enjoy the watch you have as it is as a non-water-use vintage watch and put the other money into a second, modern watch that is more appropriate for use in the water.
