Help - Daytona pushers sticking 😢

I’ve got a 2015 116520 and have noticed that when I screw the pusher crowns down they seem to be sticking (even finger tight, but not overly).

The watch doesn’t see water other than a sink, but I do live in a dusty region (Middle East)...is it Service time or is it likely just the dust?

Similar experiences, thoughts, ideas, etc?

Thanks in advance! 🤘🏽

First the screw down pushers have nothing to do with W/R or dust getting into the case.All the screw down pushers are to stop you using the chronograph function say while underwater.

If it's a September 2015( someone may want to correct me if I'm wrong with the date) dated warranty card watch will still be under Rolex warranty.

Thanks Padi - I didn’t mean that dust was in the case, I’m having an issue with the screw-down feature of the pushers in that they are difficult to unscrew and I was wondering if dust may be the issue.

i know this isn't entirely related but an old GMT bezel that hadn't been cleaned for a few years was incredibly difficult to turn (compared to new/clean).

Once i removed and properly cleaned it, it was operating as normal.

However i assume you have tried soap / warm water, what about a hurricane blower? Type you use for camera lenses.

I don't think it is a huge issue but will wait to see what others say.
