Daytona screw down pushers

Hey all, so one of my friends asked me the other day "how tight do you have to screw the pushers in to keep it waterproof for the 100m, or just in General?". I have to admit I couldn't give a straight answer becouse I'd never really thought about it, so far it's only been wet when it's rained heavily or I'm washing my hands etc. So how tight should they be? Just until they stop, a little further?

Thanks in advance, this will only bug me otherwise

All the screw down pushers are for is simple this to stop activating the chrono function accidentally, and have nothing to do with any waterproof.But if underwater best have them screwed down just finger tight no force is needed.As the function here is just to stop activation while underwater, on surface if chrono pushers are unscrewed no water or dust can enter the movement..

As mentioned, they are lock-nuts only, and not part of the sealing system.
