Can I swim with my new chocolate dial Daytona?
I'm thinking not, but I thought I would ask anyway?

Eat the chocolate, make sure that your crown and pushers are screwed down, then go for a swim.

But don't forget to wait 30 minutes after eating the chocolate before you get in the water!

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 crowns 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. And lets be honest today most would not even get there watches wet except perhaps the pool or cleaning. .Even if the pushers are unscrewed and pushed no dust or water can get in the case even if fully submersed in water to certain depths but I would not try past 30m.

Chocolate is also an aphrodisiac. Go for a swim... nudge, nudge: wink, wink.

There's a very insightful reason why the manufacturer opted for that particular shape of chocolate-bar

....

It's so it'll fit in the box

I find you have to microwave a toblerone for a bit otherwise it just breaks your face.
