Everyone talks about the triplock crown and how a watch with it is waterproof even when unscrewed, but is this true of the twinlock? If I take my DJII swimming and accidentally do not screw the crown down will the watch flood or will it stay water tight? Thank you in advance to anyone with insight into this.

Very dangerous.... Due to not Trip lock....

The twinlock is waterproof even with the crown out/unscrewed. That said, always keep the crown tight (even on the triplock)

The twinlock crown is still water resistant when unscrewed, just to a far lesser degree.

Like showering, but not swimming.

The only time I would subject a twinlock to ATM underwater is with the crown screwed down. That was the whole point of the Oyster case being impervious to water pressure.

I wouldn't do it.

I'm not going to test it out, I'm just curious for my own piece of mind in case it accidentally happens. Does anyone know for sure?
