So I finally bought a Daytona and I found myself using my Omega Speedy Mark II Co-Axial more than the Daytona. One of the reason is because of the easy access of the timer start/stop rest buttons on the Speedy. Than it hit me that I don't need to keep the locks on the buttons on the Daytona screwed down unless I'm in water. So the question for Daytona wearers is whether or not you keep your pushers locked (screwed tight) or loosened (unscrewed)?

Screwed down

CRM114 · 21 January 2018, 01:34 PM

It's still WR in water even with the pusher locks unscrewed. Just don't push them while submerged.

Is that your answer?

ZOOK · 21 January 2018, 01:36 PM

I've always got a screw loose, just not on my watch.

Tom808 · 21 January 2018, 01:40 PM

Always screwed...rarely use the chrono.

I wouldn't like the prospect of knocking a Daytona with the pushers loose.

Muzz · 21 January 2018, 03:31 PM

Screwed down, always!!

rebel_1 · 21 January 2018, 03:34 PM

I don’t plan on swimming with my Daytona and if I did, I’d probably screw down the pushers because I almost never screw down the pushers

duc888 · 21 January 2018, 07:24 PM

Screwed most of the time except in the gym.....yes, I wear a Daytona in the gym

And after that I make sure that the buttons are screw because I also wear it while showering.

Do you keep your zipper open?!!!!

If it took me as long to open my zipper as it does to get the Daytona ready for use if the pushers are secured then I might do away with a zipper all together.

So you'd think the Daytona is more fragile then say a Speedmaster which doesn't have locks on its pushers? Makes sense as the Speedy was chosen for space travel. Of course I try not to knock any of my watches.

fskywalker · 21 January 2018, 10:15 PM

Screwed

subtona · 21 January 2018, 10:47 PM

Split.
If you intend to use the timer frequently (and are able to read it) then leave them open, no harm

GradyPhilpott · 21 January 2018, 11:16 PM

I don't have a Daytona, but I do have a THC.

Keeping the pushers screwed down on such a watch diminishes the spontaneity with which the watch can be used for its chronograph functions.

Besides, as has already been noted, doing so is unnecessary to maintain the watch's water-resistance under normal circumstances.

1William · 21 January 2018, 11:24 PM

When I owned a Daytona I keep the pusher tight.

ap1 · 21 January 2018, 11:35 PM

I like em tight

Rsubnodate · 21 January 2018, 11:38 PM

I keep them screwed down but I rarely use them

Well, if you are going to use the chrono function, you only have to unscrew the top pusher. This really doesn't take long. Unscrew the lower later when you are ready to reset.

AK797 · 22 January 2018, 12:21 AM

Screwed down, unscrewed they look like they are trying to take off!

Yep.

I use the chronograph function decently often - just yesterday in fact, to time a hike my gf and I did. I'm never in a "rush" to start timing something, so the ~2sec it takes to unscrew the top pusher doesn't ruin anything.

Daytona FTW

Screwed down, also do no like how the pushers look unscrewed so that would bug me to look at constantly.

Exactly.

breitlings · 22 January 2018, 06:37 AM

I had a pusher on an omega dynamic fall off after about 10 years, so I keep mine screwed in unless I am using it.
