I heard that most chrono's should not be operated under water. Obviously they are buttons that must allow a less stronger seal when pushed. But if they are unscrewed on the Daytona, is that bad to do if you're going into water?

they are just lock nuts to prevent activation of the pushers

The pushers don't need to be screwed down to be waterproof, but it does stop you from accidentally pressing them - that does compromise the seals and allows water into the case.

No... They are just as waterproof closed or open. You just can't push them or you lose.

Keep them locked though, so they don't get pushed accidentally.

That's good to know. I always thought it was necessary to screw them in.
