It's still waterproof even without the pushers screwed down.

The screws have nothing to do with the waterproofing of the watch, all they do is keep you from pressing the pushers inadvertently..

We talk about it over in the Rolex Reference Library...

As long as you didn't use the pusher you should be fine. There's a rubber gasket used and the only thing the screw down thread does is make sure you don't use them under water.
