Addendum
To be objective, the weak points in the construction of a waterproof watch are the gaskets. Adding a display back does add one gasket to the 4 that are already present in a standard case(crystal/case-frame, case-frame/case-back, case-frame/tube, tube/crown), 8 in a chrono case.
In general these gaskets only fail after many years of neglect, but they are always a possible weak point in the system.
If a watch is really going to be used near or under water regular services are of utmost importance.
As I understand it professional divers have their watches serviced and all the gaskets replaced about every 6 months to ensure they will not have any problems.

The engineers can make you what you want to whatever depth you want. The big difference between glass/saphire and metal is that in failure metal will bend, at some point affecting the working of the watch, and glass will fracture, you can imagine. But bot...
