diggs Posted July 11, 2007 Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 Just go my 3717 and I love the watch. The only concern I have is when I screw in the crown it feels very rough and hard to get started. Anyone else have this issue? Any way to improve it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amplitude Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 Pull the crown and stem, and polish the face of the crown tube with a dremel or a buffer wheel till its mirror polished. Start your crown backwards, till you feel a "click", then tighten. do this a few times, then pull the crown and stem again. you will see a few shavings, probably on the inner crown gasket. Clean them off, them lube the threads with silicone lube VERY lightly. Too many people use way too much silicone. Use a little silicone on the face of your crown tube, In a couple of days the crown feel will have improved greatly. Then clean and lube it again.
