On my Evo :drool: do the S.D.P.s form a water restraint seal when the are closed/tightened, similar to the crown, or are they purely just designed to stop the pushers been pressed under water?

All watches can achieve their rated water resistance without the pushers screw down, it's just to prevent accidental use under water.

Thought so. Did not feel resistance against a seal as they are tightened. Even better as they may be remain open for general everday use Timing parking ETC...

Many thanks :thumbsup:

This is something I've often wondered about. I'm glad someone finally thought to ask it. Why, though, does the manual recommend keeping the pushers screwed down when the chronograph is not in use?

Minimises the chance of damage to the screw threads would be my guess - you don't have to screw down the crown for it to operate either.
