yes...

And what about the crown (+ the tube)?

Is it the same as in the older seamasters?

I hope they improved something...

If you press the crown in and turn counter-clockwise, you should feel a point where the threads catch and give a sort of 'click' feel. Once you feel this click, the threads should be lined up and ready to be screwed down clockwise.

Aham... Thanks the quick reply!

Now I understand it!

Nope, I'd say that tip - which I also do - is exactly the right way to proceed.

It's got me a couple of years out my own modded UPO - sadly it has now finally given up the ghost and stripped.

Can you describe it a little more?

I will order a PO chrono (correct subdials) today, and I don't want to [censored] up the crown...

Never have watch with screw crown...

I downloaded a GEN users manual, and I read out this:

If I understand good:

To adjust the date and the time:

-I should screw out the crown (Can I screw too much? or it is not possible?)

-I should pull the crown a little to adjust the date (after the pulling I should screw to clockwise to set the date)

-I should pull the crown fully to adjust the time (after the pulling I should screw to cw or countercw)

-After that I should push back the crown and I need to screw it in (back to the original position - clockwise)

Andrew suggested me:

When I pushed back the crown I can start the screwing back, but I also need to push the crown ( push + screwing). And I should do this slowly. OK, I understand this. I

But what is your suggestion?

Sorry, but English is not my first language, and I don't understand the exact procedure that you suggest to save the crown.

When should I screw it Counter-clockwise to click? At the end of the whole procedure?

Thanks a lot as well!! I'm going to see if I can order them locally here. I followed The Zigmeister's advice on screwing in the crown to avoid stripping by turning counter-clockwise until I felt the click before screwing it in...but cheap threads still strip.

But what is your (The Zigmeister's) method?
