^^^^^ Ah. That, (or the auto), was going to be my next purchase. How can “divers” leak?
Are there any other push in crown diver watches out there other than CW?
I have a screw in crown diver which is fine.

That’s not what I wanted to hear. :(

Mine is coming in early July. I am hesitant on submerging in a pool or lake because of the push in crown. Has anyone else have the same problem? I also wear my every day watches 24/7. This might be a problem for me.

Returned the watch to CW in April, no one contact me to update on progress I had to call several times to eventually be told they had pressure tested the watch and could not find a problem. Got the watch back around the beginning of May, its leaking again and I've not even been in a pool. It will be going back to CW, I am unlikely to accept either a repair or replacement which is a shame as it’s a good looking watch. Not impressed at all.
Something very wrong, no way it should leak so a seal must be defective. Have you had a pressure test done by a local watchmaker? I am sure many would be interested to hear.

Whether a push in crown or screw down should make no difference to a given pressure rating given correct design and testing.

I will admit to a slight preference for push in for every day wear, less fiddly for adjustment/risk of damage to the tube. But there is the satisfaction of screw down for security under serious abuse.
