new daytona water resistence at pusher

[myfirstrolex1976]

have had new stainless daytona white dial for about two months...

with my job im around water all day, not submerged, just splashed upon, today i noticed the top pusher had become unscrewed. question being is it still resistant to water if unscrewed or should i be concerned?

thanks in advance for replys

If just splashed upon, I'd say that your watch is perfectly OK. That said, it's good to always ensure the crown and pushers are properly screwed down as designed.

An example of the sealing properties used within the Triplock crown and pushers of modern Daytonas is shown in the pic.

The pic was borrowed from TRF and I apologize that I do not know the name of the poster.

Basically the screw down on the pushers are to stop you activating the chrono if not needed .And the pushers have activated and been tested on forum down at 30m by a French dive team without any problem. And the Daytona with the pushers screwed down has been tested down to 63m 207FT underwater without any problem.This depth would be far deeper that most recreational divers would dive they would limit to around 35m 40m .Even is the pushers are unscrewed no dust or water can get in the case even if fully submersed in water.
