Thanks

The watch is 10 years old with multiple previous owners - can I assume the rating means nothing?

if it hasn't been serviced or you don't know the service history, then assume it has no water resistance as the rubber seals will perish. For some watches, seals are destructible so if you fit a seal then later remove the caseback the seal is no good anymore.
