I always reverse first. Just habit.

NEVER a problem with the TRIPLOCK crowns. The TWINLOCK ones can be fiddly at times, especially if you have large fingers.

You know,I have actually never seen the Queen screw in her crown,usually it is just placed gently on her head.Now,that thing must weigh an absolute gastly emperial ton....Talk about 'stiff upper lip',how about 'stiff neck' ..... Har-Har-Har !!

I'm a little concerned about the softness of the gold making cross-threading more likely.

If you're worried about the gold crown on your Rolex, remember that the ONLY the cap on top is 18 K gold.

The inside is still solid SS Steel. Gold threads won't last too long with the continuous screwing and unscrewing. Has to be steel....on every ROLEX...be it a TT or a YG.

I just press em in and turn clockwise... definitely never force anything.

Haven't stripped one yet (coupe triplocks and a few twinlocks as well as numerous other brands).

Always counter clock-wise first till I feel the thread drop, then clockwise. I'd hate to strip a thread.
