Gotcha

. You have an awesome watch. I miss mine, but I traded over to a 16710 and a 1675; love GMTs. I look forward to a visit to Australia in the coming year as my company opens a location in Sydney.

Which grey dealer sold it to you?

Fleetlord · 15 June 2018, 12:42 PM

rubber gloves works

rallyx · 15 June 2018, 12:45 PM

Sounds like it's been screwed blued and tattooed.

If you are in Sydney or Melbourne, bring it to the Rolex Service Centre. They should be able to fix it on the spot.

inzite · 15 June 2018, 01:02 PM

pretty sure it was screwed in and took a light tap so it got real tight and locked up slightly, as said before, use some tape on any item that will allow you to grip it tightly and just apply the less is more philosophy and undo it yourself - can't do further harm at this point.

GradyPhilpott · 15 June 2018, 01:11 PM

I'd say run it under a stream of very warm water and see what that does.

kingSubTT · 15 June 2018, 01:14 PM

Mate. Don’t you guys have to turn it clockwise to unscrew in Australia? I have heard everything is whack down under. Like toilet water flushes in reverse circles :)

CorradoBrit · 15 June 2018, 01:15 PM

PB Blaster?

I’ll see if I can find anything to try and do it

Wow. You must have missed the class called “sense of humour”

Muxi · 16 June 2018, 12:57 AM

You can do it yourself. Happened to me when my nephew screwed one in too tightly.

but indeed this can be caused by a extremely strong hand vs a weak hand maybe ? maybe the problem is not the watch but your muscular strength in the hands ?

donq · 16 June 2018, 02:03 AM

Someone tried to make the crown line up vertically like in the pictures?

dr3ws · 18 June 2018, 09:15 PM

UPDATE*
Took it to RSC and they fix it in less than a minute and resize it for me.

Great news!!!!! Enjoy and wear it in good health!!!

Muxi · 19 June 2018, 12:45 AM

Enjoy!

Shaky · 19 June 2018, 01:19 AM

If it took less than a minute. Forget about it and just enjoy wearing it.
Blatantly an over zealous hand screwed it nice and tight.

It was over tighten, didn’t ask how they do it

SeaDweller50 · 19 June 2018, 08:29 AM

Good to hear. I was going to suggest placing the crown in a vice, mega tight, and turn the case anti-clockwise (I think). That would have done the trick. Lol

dubins930 · 19 June 2018, 08:35 AM

finger tight folks, finger tight... Glad this got resolved man!

Turn the crown counterclockwise to unscrew it from the case.
