kasigi Posted March 26, 2006 Report Share Posted March 26, 2006 The friend I sold my Tag to called today asking me how to adjust the time. Cut a long story short (because it was a long call, took nearly ten minutes) he was trying to pull the crown out and not unscrew it. He said he'd broken a few nails trying to pull the damn thing out. It literally took him ten minutes to realise what I meant by 'unscrew the crown and then pull it out' My, I did chuckle :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Bond Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 Some doesn’t even know how a automatic mechanical watches work. They would ask questions like “The watches does not work, it is not moving. I leave the watch in the drawer for a few days and it stop moving” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sssurfer Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 Feek, I suppose you told him that in order to unscrew the crown he had to turn it counterclockwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kasigi Posted March 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 Nah, that would have confused him even more. I told him anticlockwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
