Sitting in a glass or tank of water is nothing like even snorkeling ten feet under or swimming in a surf or getting drenched by waves on a sailboat. As far as whether a watch has a screw down crown is not totally relevant. The Fortis B-42 is also a pilot watch without a screw down crown --they abandoned the original screw down crown due to problems in the older ones--and still have a 200m rating. My point is why take all the trouble to harden the steel and make a "stealth watch" which is supposedly geared for rough treatment and action when the water-resistance is still very much in the minimal range acceptable for anything.
