Hang on just a moment, I would think that a crystal popping would only be the case if there was an extremely sudden drop in pressure. IF the vacuum is applied gradually then I agree I would think the atmosphere within the watch would leak out where it could and eventually equalize or rather become a vacuum as well. My guess would be the crown would be the weakest point or caseback if it just snaps closed. I would guess that the tough part would be afterwards. if the seal holds and a vacuum is maintained in the watch then you'd have a heck of a time getting into it later. At 3ATM I doubt this would happen though. I reckon worst case would be having some of the lubrication leak out as the vacuum is being applied or after the test possibly getting moisture into the watch as it tries to re-equalize pressure and take air into it.
