hehehe! yeah bad habit now leaving the crown open and as well with the Alpinist. I alternate watches so often and wind those up that I get lazy and leave the crown open ....me bad!  Not so bad actually. There isn't really any more danger of leaving a screw down crown unscrewed than there is with a non screw down crown. Whatever might snap one off will do the same to the other. That is why when you go looking for parts; it is always the stem that is first to be out of stock or obsolete. I tend to leave my divers with mediocre threading, unscrewed. Saves the threads and I don't wear them long enough to be endangered. I agree but we WISs are a picky lot! I know I will not have the watches under or very near water! But, it doesn't look good to other WISs hahahaha! Jake put 3 stem gaskets in his Typhoon model!!!! |

We true WISs know that a watch that is WR rated and has good gaskets is just as safe under water with the crown screwed down or not. But it never hurts to err on the side of caution if you don't know the state of the gaskets or the WR. |
