YM II water tightness

if you are submerged in water and you press the 2 buttons of your YM II, is it still water tight to its indicated waterproofness depth? how is the ymii constructed that water doesnt go in through the bezel and the 2 buttons?

Would doubt if you would be pushing the buttons at 100m but watches like the Daytona have been tested at 30m without any problem the YM11 buttons are similar.



Left to right, HEV, Chrono pushers like on Daytona Tudor range,Twin Lock,Triplock.

Love the fact that on the YM you don't have to unscrew the pushers to use the chronograph function. (Not that it's a big deal either way, of course) The watch is a pure home run, IMO.

On all oyster models yes plus seal inside the case, and important to just screw down the crown just finger tight no force is needed..
