Unscrewed crown, avoided disaster.

[rushca01]

Over the years I have read posts where someone left their crown unscrewed and only remember to check as they jumped in the water etc. I always thought to myself, how could someone be so careless. I mean, you wind the movement, set the date/time and screw it back down and put on your wrist. Why would you every put on your wrist and not screw the crown down? I’ll tell you how..as I just did it.

Got out of the shower after mowing, took my garmin off to put my Explorer II on. Watch was dead so I unscrewed the crown got distracted and instead of carrying the watch around (thinking it would be safer on my wrist than me carrying it around) I decided to put it on my wrist with the intent to set the watch when I sat down again. Well time goes by and as I’m sitting in the chair I look down…forgot to set the watch and there the crown was completely unscrewed. Firs time I have ever done!

Now, I understand how it can happen.

Enjoy your Labor Day everyone!
