Submariner Moisture Risk

Hi All,

Sorry if this is a dumb question but with $10k at risk, I figured WTH.

I have a Submariner (16610) and noticed the crown was unscrewed just over a full turn when I was taking a shower. I’m not sure if in this position the crown is against the O-ring or not. And if not, what is the risk any water was able to ingress into the case. Just in case I currently have the watch in a ziploc bag with a desiccant pack and the crown fully unscrewed.

Thanks for your wisdom
