Crown unscrewed itself overnight

Has anybody ever experienced a crown unscrewing itself? I woke up this morning to an unscrewed crown on my Bluesy. I am pretty anal about making sure the crown is screwed down tightly after winding the watch, but it’s certainly possible I spaced out.

Anybody ever experienced something like this?

Never.

I've heard of sleep walking. Maybe you have an offshoot of that?

Its impossible for the winding crown to unscrew by itself, and the crown only needs screwing down just finger tight no force is needed

yeah, I highly doubt that it unscrewed by itself.

Got any ghost?

I don’t know. I thought I shut the lights off in the family room last night. When I woke up this morning, they were still on.

Yep. I've spaced out a few times myself! I have found some watches set at the wrong time and some with the crown unscrewed. Once in the shower!

Never overnight. My crown usually unscrews itself right before I jump in the ocean.

Never but I bet you are a very active mover when you sleep with your watch hand under your pillow. That would explain the pressure against your crown as you move your arm.
