    Sure thing, I'll definitely write about my experiences with the pushers in the full review. In the meantime though its worth noting that although Rolex claims the pushers need to be screwed down to maintain WR, quite a lot of users on TRF (in fact the consensus on every thread on this topic) claim that the pushers are fully WR to 100m without screwing down. Actuating the pushers on the other hand would compromise WR so the screw down only prevents accidental actuation when immersed in water. There was even a thread posted by a french diver who actuated the pusher at 30m without problems and dived down to 60m with the pushers unscrewed without issues. That said the watch looks a bit more attractive with the pushers screwed in rather than out. I've been switching between both modes so far... will see how things pan out.

    Gorgeous! I had the pleasure of trying on a Daytona (albeit white gold and on leather) once and it was a surprisingly good fit for such a small watch. Enjoy it, it's a truly amazing piece.
