I see pictures of watches with the crown unscrewed and pulled out. Is there a reason for this? I thought it would b an entrance for dust and debris?

Probably so they can lock the time at 10:10 for the purpose of the photograph.

This ^^

If for only a limited amount of time it won't be an issue.

An unscrewed crown will not let in dust and debris. There are seals around the stem inside the tube, it does not "open-up" the insides of the watch to the atmosphere.
