They told me the watch had double gaskets to guarantee water resistance but you can still screw down a manual movement.
Can't imagine it's no different than an automatic movement that you can manually wind to start up. Just requires you to push in the crown and thread the screws.

What I love about this watch is that it has vintage vibes. It’s got the chunky bracelet that reminds me of 1980’s Miami sleazy with the non taper I wish the crown was screw down for a supposedly water rating of 100m doesn’t give me much confidence that it...
It sure has even more wrist presence than your gold Rolex and Omega!
I'd label it sophisticatedly striking.... 😎👌
Thanks buddy!
Sorry about the closet shot we are in construction in upgrading the closet shelves and island. That why it looks like crap.
Thanks Mon ami, I will certainly tell them why water entered the watch if it get's in there while swimming.
Sonny Crockett LMAO, I'll have to get the white suit jacket and roll up the sleeves.
That the crown isn't screw-down
might have something to do with the fact that it's a hand-wound movement. Not that it would be impossible to feature a screw-down crown on such a movement, but it would be unusual and a bit contradictory to the daily winding ritual. Just my guess, I might...

Thank you and yes I agree with you on that..
If it was a short power reserve then winding and unwinding the crown would get cumbersome but this supposedly has a 80 hour power reserve and is marketed as a sports watch. You would think they would make it a screw down.
Of course, I understand your point.
Again, the only things that really matter is that (i) your watch is gorgeous and (ii) they guarantee the WR.
Simply gorgeous !
Looks great on you and I would love to compare it with my 5712/1r in terms of size, heft and appearance. Nothing can beat rose gold cases and brown dials
