Panerai noob needs help

[Rikzaah]

So I received my PAM111, and I am wondering that after setting the time, should I first snap the crown into the winding position and then put the CQ lever to the lock position. Or should I just close the lever and that would snap it into the winding position.

I am asking because currently I cannot snap from time setting position to winding position with my fingers - even when I try really hard.

Well, you can use the lever to push the crown into the first position, which is the winding position. Normally you would use your fingers to push the crown from the time setting position to the winding position. Why can't you push the crown in?

Now that I've tried it multiple times I can get it with my fingers. The trick is to push the crown in just a tad bit higher than the middle.
