Waterproof (IP66) switches tend to be used for isolation, so on/off only - the nearest I've found is:

which isn't rotary, but does have three positions: on / off / on and it's waterproof!  Not sure if this would be any good to you.  What 
sort of switching are you doing?  Is it really one to one-of-three?
