Rolexes are okay. Daytona definitely okay. Tudor BB too to some extent.

And the screwdown pushers on Daytona have nothing to do with water resistance.

There are a few on the market , the Fortis B42 series are rated to 200m without screw down crowns and there are others . If you do purchase a watch without a screw down crown , i would advise an annual water resistance check .
Your suggestion is very much appreciated. I really love the look of The Fortis B42 and if all goes to plan, I will purchase one as my tool watch. I really dig the C60 titanium also, but I'm not going to try my luck a third time with the screw-down crown unfortunately...

You could always try an Elliot Brown Bloxworth (or Canford).
