Question on Daytona Pushers and water resistance unscreewed

[Brian Page]

Looking for thoughts regarding your Daytona pushers and their screw-down protectors. Do you leave them unscrewed most of the time? - Or screwed down? Doesn't appear they add to the water resistance aside from prohibiting the pusher to be engaged.

You made question and answer

[Brian Page]

I thought so - but was looking for confirmation!

Yes pushers just screw down to be prevented from accidentally pushing on or off while timing
Still waterproof when unscrewed

Thanks Doc! - I guess that was the point of my poorly written question

I understand what you mean.

The screw down feature is to prevent the pushers from being used when under water.

Not just when under water, but at any time, I thought?

So much for timing my laps in the pool lol. As answered, yes, prevents the pusher from being pushed in and prevents accidental operation.

I leave mine screwed down and secured all the time unless I am using the chronograph feature for one reason or another. It is very easy to unscrew the collar while still on the wrist.

I learned something new about the Daytona, thanks! Makes me like it a little bit more.

A little off topic, but my girlfriend found out that a Explorer with a unscrewed crown offers no water resistance... That was a bad day. I figured there was a gasket there to provide at least a little.... All better now though.

There is a gasket there and so an unscrewed crown is also waterproof unless you have gone too long without a service call and the gasket inside the tube has become compromised..

It's sitting with the watchmaker now and it was repaired. Luckily there was no damage done... Hopefully picking it up next week.

Yeah I though it was too simple Adam.

If you use the stopwatch function often there is no need to have the pushers screwed in 'above water'?
I have missed timing some events by having the pushers screwed down.

But screwing the pushers down before you go diving to prevent operation under water is recommended?

But you can do what suits you.

[Old Expat Beast]

Yeah, I just meant that they were probably designed to prevent inadvertent engagement in general.

So is this how this works.

If it is unscrew but not depress down it is still water resistance? Yes/NO

It is only not water resistance when it is depress? Yes/NO

I have heard that someone unscrew a sub and shower with it on and well water when in it and he had to take it into the shop.

So here is my question does this mean you can't use the stop watch function on a Daytona in the rain?

. Yes, all the way down to 100meters

. That's the same question.. (but still, you need to be down quite a ways for it to be a problem. They don't automatically leak underwater whenever pressed.

. It this ever happened it is because their watch is worn out. The waterproofing seals are inside the tube around the stem. It is a secondary seal in the crown - a properly maintained Sub is waterproof even with the crown unscrewed.

. No. Hard to believe this is a serious question
