Hi guys,

Don't know how many of you would be able to answer this one, but it's a pretty logical and serious question!!

Now we all know that the Subs, YM (only 40 mm) and the Daytona are fitted with TRIPLOCK crowns. So technically speaking, they should all be good to a depth of 300 m/1,000 ft. Right? Right!!

So does this also mean that all THREE models mentioned above should also have sapphire crystals of the SAME thickness?

I don't know about crystal thickness, but even though the daytona's crown is a triplock, I don't think (and I may be wrong here) the sub pushers are triplocks, prolly just twinlocks if that. So I would say a Daytona is likely not WP to 300m.

Yuh huh, the Daytona's rated to 100m.

I don't know if we're talking about thickness here. Logically, to account for different dial sizes, I would imagine the more valid measure would be the ratio of the crystal's diameter to its thickness.
