AP Diver - Question

Could the crown manipulating the rotable bezel be operated under the water? Thx.

Can, but it is a little bit tricky, you can search for the video here posted recently. Hope it helps.

I was under the impression you can't as it is a screw down crown. Doing so would compromise the hermeticity of the watch. If you see the review on Hodinkee you will see this being addressed.

I stand corrected!
And of course why would they place the bezel crown on the left if it was meant to be operate under water.
