mastmampf Posted December 30, 2008 Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 Hello, i received the Hublot BigBang King from timeshops.net today. A real eye catcher. But i have a problem. It is nearly impossible for me to push the crown back in place after setting the time. It seems that the spring from the crown is hanging or something else. Thereby i can not set the time exactly. Also i can not wind up the movement like all my other watches. Sometimes the crown slides through. Is this a problem with the crown itself or is it more? I don`t want to ship the watch back to Mark. Maybe i can fix it by myself. Any suggestions? Thanks i advance for helping. Greetz Matz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllergyDoc Posted December 30, 2008 Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 I have a BBK SS. The crown is a little wobbly but it doesn't seem to be as bad as yours. I don't know how to fix watches but this is what I do with mine. If the crown doesn't start threading when I push it in, it usually will if I wind it backwards a tad bit. Manually winding this and any 7750 is always easier if the time is set between 6:00 and 9:00. I go slow, of course. Also, if the gears seem to catch while winding I'll pull the crown out a tiny bit and it always winds much better. I've been able to regulate the time on mine. It was running a minute slow, now it's about 15 seconds off. Lots of guys have complained about the wobbly crown, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mastmampf Posted December 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 By the way, how did you regulate the watch? I just opened the case back but can not find where to regulate the movement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllergyDoc Posted December 30, 2008 Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 All I have is Microsoft Paint and I don't know how to put an arrowhead on the line: The bottom of the red line is the adjusting arm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mastmampf Posted December 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 Is there a screw? If so how do i have to screw it? Greetz Matz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllergyDoc Posted December 30, 2008 Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 Nope. I just push it one way or the other with the tip of the screwdriver. Towards the outer edge of the case for faster, inward for slower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
