However, coincidentally, I was walking the dog on Friday, whilst wearing my Dartmouth. When I got home I noticed that it had stopped! Thankfully, the crown had somehow being pulled out due to me putting my hand in and out of my pockets. It’s a first for me but serves as a gentle reminder to be careful when doing the dishes! (Note: I don’t dive and rarely swim)

All I’d suggest, and it’s what I’d do, is never deliberately swim with a pull out crown unless you’ve checked that it’s pushed in first.
I've had this with the C65 TD - crown catching on the edge of a pocket. I don't swim with it. But I wouldn't bother getting the case changed. Just use a swimming watch with SD crown. Or take the watch off.
I've had this once, with the crown catching on the edge of the watch winder cushion lugs... next morning I realised it had stopped and when I noted the time, it was the time I'd popped it on the winder... quite ironic really, given the winders function :lol:

Other than that, I love the larger crown on the C65 military watches... so much easier to operate when needed and just feel more "military" too :thumbup:
