Forgive me but this watch does have a screw down crown. The problem is that it does not work on my watch! When I ordered this watch I communicated with the seller, one of our trusted ones that I required this to be serviced and waterproofed. I was planning on having it done on my side also but wanted the movement oiled etc first. Well, I am guessing that even though I was told these checks were done they could not have been completed. The watch would not have passed any test with the crown in its current state. I have been in contact with the seller and am rather frustrated. I am getting the old, send it to a watchmaker, then I will send the parts out if you order another watch and finally I need to send extra money for airmail! Right now I am out of pocket $500, then watchsmith fee's here in the US for a crown check and soon another amount to have the crown replaced. I have asked that they send a tube also in case the problem is there and I am meeting problems with that request. Finally today I just sent an email stating that I will send the watch back for a full refund. So I wait.
Very discouraged!!
