Had the same problem with my GMT II, easy fix for a watchmaker.

Well obviously. But sometimes people screw them in super tight making it impossible to unscrew by hand.

A grippy rubber or plastic pliers is what I use.

I find the crown on my BLNR very sturdy compared to my 36mm DateJust, I was very surprised at how harder it was to screw/unscrew when I first got it. Both completely different watches I know but the BLNR has a completely different feel to it.

Never heard of the issue you're experiencing unfortunately. I hope you get it sorted.

Glad you got it sorted Andrew.

I turn my crown down until it just makes contact with the case, that’s it. No tightening at all.
