Re: Crown doesn't screw down
Which model is this watch? Usually when you can't screw the crown down, it's gotta do with crown tube/crown being stripped. So far all my watches have been fine nonetheless, inclusive the Planet Ocean (famous for crown stripping down).

Re: Crown doesn't screw down
I find that when screwing down any crown, just apply pressure to the crown turn it counter clockwise until you feel the threads click and then screw it in. I have never experienced a problem using this technique.

Re: Crown doesn't screw down
i agree a 100% with you, this is the only way it should be done. in this way you align the 2 ending threads ( crown and tube ) - you get the best staring point for the crown to screw on correctly.
i usually put half a drop of thick lube on the tube, which makes the screwing - on smooth.

Re: Crown doesn't screw down
if it's the crown and/or tube are/is stripped, you need to get them replaced. That's why my asking of which watch is it.

Re: Crown doesn't screw down
so.. what kind of watch is it? (maybe I missed it somewhere??)
I always apply a little graphite powder and a small dab of oil to the threads, after which I grease those rings.. :lol: never know when you will get pushed in the lake.
