Question for Diver owners

A basic one here but I just got my Diver yesterday so I don't know :)

How thight should the crown (both) be to avoid water damage? I don't want to mess up the rubber on the crown by over doing it but at the same time I want to avoid water damage, does it has Rolex type mechanism ( sub and others ) that water won't get in even unscrued?

The truth is I don't plan using it for diving but I want to make sure if I use it in the pool or other lite water activities I am ok.


Thanks
Simon

Just don't be silly when tightening it and it will be fine.

I just do it gently until I feel it won't go any more - then a little firmer for a couple more degrees.

I believe it is still water proof with the crowns unscrewed - although, I could be wrong.

Simon, just screw it back until it stops screwing. No need to do it super tight. The screw-down crown on the Diver doesn't have a triple lock crown system as Rolex.
