I read and hear so much concern about unscrewing the crown. People seem reluctant to do it since they think that this will wear out the seals and the threads. I'm sure that thousnads of such cycles will have some wearing effect, but isn't this what it was designed and built to do? If the crown is not overtightened, or screwed in when dirty or wet, this should not be an issue at all. Right?
Cheers
