Crown unscrewing by itself

You are not crazy, I've owned this model twice and noticed on both of them that the crown friction is nothing like that of screwing down a sub. That being said I agree with Peter that this is not happening on it's own. I think this particular model for what ever reason unscrews far easier than the Sub crown and tube.

my oysterquartz has done this a few times and b4 and after ive had it overhauled... it does feel paranormal u look its fine u look and its undone seemngly in a moment, i check it and look at it constantly. feels so weird but the only thing that makes sense is tucking in my shirt or pockets its the only thing it could be becsaue i make sure its tight due to this happening b4 and since wearing dress shirts at work it just happened today. if there was something wrong with it rolex would have said something when they put the brand new crown and gaskets on and in.
