Close call! (crown unscrewed+ h2O)

[S52]

So had a pretty scary close call a couple weeks ago.

I was down in Key west on a work trip, and had my trusty GMT on my wrist. My buddies were already in the pool so I grabbed a can of brew and jumped into about waist deep water... right as I was about to dunk the watch under I felt over the crown as a final safety check and wouldn't you know it the freaking crown was completely unscrewed!

Its a good thing I was only a couple of beers in otherwise Im certain that check would not have occurred!

It was ironic too because after the scare, my friends and even a couple strangers commented "hey you've still got your watch on, are you sure it wont get ruined?"

So lesson learned... any time theres even a chance of me being near water while wearing these watches, obligatory crown check will occur!

Anyone else have similar stories/ blunders to share?
