Sla033 crown winding

Have had this watch since August. Lovely watch. Does anyone else find it a real pain to wind up if you have not worn it for a while. Wish the crown would come out a bit more so it is easier to wind.

Turn the watch upside down to wind it. It makes it easier to grasp.

The cases on Squale's are the same way. They suck to wind. It took me a while to finally figure out that if I did it upside down it went a lot smoother.
