Some odd questions..

Hm.. I am serious about below questions, and they are not any jokes!

1. Somebody told me that SMP remains water resistant, even if the crown is opened (both main crown and helium valve.)
Can anyone verify or falsify?

2. CPU and SMR water resistance -
CPU�s can often be overclocked within greater margins, even manufacturer states specific CPU to run at e.g 500 MHZ.
Can this apply to water resistance of SMR (or any water resistant watch) too?
I mean, is the watch water resistant to + - 300 metres within very narrow margin, or can these watches remain resistant even in deeper waters?

I hope none of the questions were confusing! :)

rgds, Keo
