bluejelly Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 OK, so i've just recieved my first rep. I'm so excited - i researched it for so long and eventually decided on a Brietling Skyland Avenger. I dont know much about watches but have read all the guidlines for using a A7750 movement and have never heard of this problem. I cant seem to pull the crown out. I dont want to force it but have pulled fairly hard and it wont come out. It also barely rotates. Again i dont want to force it but with considerable force I can only turn it maybe 10 degrees if that! Any idea what is wrong if anything? Any comments are appreciated. I have it booked in soon to be serviced with The Zigmeister, but if this is a factory fault I need to get it replaced asap. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 I don't want this to come across the wrong way... But I'm assuming that you've unthreaded the crown from the tube, correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justasgood Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 Ubi's right. Unscrew the crown until it pops out a bit then wind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluejelly Posted August 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 Thanks so much both of you. Both right! It just needed a bit of a twist in the right direction. I feel really dumb now but like I said i really am new to watches. I read that its not good to hand wind an A7750 movement. I just thought that when the crown is all the way in and you twisted it it would hand wind. Also thanks for not calling me a noob and laying into me for such a silly mistake. cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 Well, I wasn't sure if you were aware of the screw down crown or not. And I certainly didn't want to insult your intelligence either. Glad it was a simple fix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve52 Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 Don't worry about it. It's not as though these watches come with a manual! enjoy your new toy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toadtorrent Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 Also thanks for not calling me a noob and laying into me for such a silly mistake. Welcome aboard...and don't feel bad about either being a Noob or getting called one. We're all noobs in some respect or another...just less so in others.

maxman Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 I remember when I got my first screw down crown. It did take me a while to get the hang of It. I was use to the pull and push varity. It Is also better to come here and ask a question then taking a chance of harming your new watch. The old adage Is true " the only dumb question Is the question you dont ask" Oh Im so clever Good luck with your new watch Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
