That goes directly against what Patek stated about this change. They are not testing them with crown unscrewed. They specifically say that all water resistance ratings are based on crowns pushed in (and screwed in if that’s an option). They’re just now testing them only to 30m and they will stand behind that, meaning that you can use such a watch for swimming and even diving down to 30 meters.
