Question Water Resistant/Proof Watches

I'm not able to get into comparative depth claims, but I remain concerned over the terms, "resistant" and "proof". A watchmaker friend tells me that in his termenology, water "resistant" means take it into the shower, if it doesn't have a leather band. Water "proof" (i.e. my Submariner) means it will prevent leakage at least to the stated depth.
