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.
You made the comment

The watch is rated at 50 meters. If you want deeper buy the Fortis, and dive 200 meters, let me know how that works out for you.
