They are threaded on in standard CW direction.. Sometimes a crown does come unscrewed from the stem and is lost.. One reason why some folks only wind their watch in one direction (rather than the back-and-forth motion)..
Most times they are on with loc-tite, so without taking the stem out of the watch it is not easy to simply unscrew one.

Detente the stem and crown from the movement, put the stem in a hand pin vise heat up the crown with a hairdryer and unscrew. reverse procedure. To replace the crown always use locktite on the threads. Rik
