Newby Question on Crown
I have a couple of questions about the crown.....
I am the proud new owner of a 39mm Explorer. This is my first mechanical watch in the last 45 or so years. I do not wear the watch in the shower, but I do wash it every few weeks. Last night I discovered that the crown was not tight. It required about a 1/4 turn to become tight. Do you think that any moisture or other bad stuff may have entered the watch? If so, what do I do? Secondly, how tight should the crown be wound in? I now have it about 1/8 of a turn past where you can feel it first contacting the rubber bushing. Sound about right? |

Your watch is fine, no worries. And don't over tighten...just finger tight is fine.

Your crown does not need to be more than finger tight
