Trouble setting time (AT 8900)

Just got my first rep (Omega Aqua Terra 8900) and am having trouble unscrewing the crown to set the time. Is there a trick to it that I'm just not getting? I don't wanna use pliers and scratch the finish.

For anyone interested the crown was just a bit tight from the factory. I was able to put some masking tape on a pair of pliers so that it wouldn't be metal on metal, and used them to loosen it.

Glad you resolve this issue. Just a note in case you find yourself in the same situation. I just sold my Spectre to a member here and when the watch arrived, the watch wouldn't move. Hand stuck. The buyer sent it off to check by an expert and found some debris jamming the movement mechanism. So if this happens, you know what could be causing it. Some dirt may have gotten dislodged in transit.
