Both probably got crap on the threads and started to feel gritty. No idea if there is a correlation between damage and environment, but that’s been my experience.
Short of having to replace the crown / crown and stem, no other damage reported during service.

That's very interesting, sounds like they just replace the crown and stem as part of routine maintenance like Padi has said. I live in a beach town so there is always some sand everywhere, I usually keep my house tidy enough but you never know
I always am careful but it's just one of those over the years things hoping nothing has gotten in when changing time :) I am an old man, due to be retiring soon- no more money to spend on watches!
