Sharp crown pokes me in the wrist, anyone else?
Re: Sharp crown pokes me in the wrist, anyone else?
Is this a problem just with the 43mm?
I have a 38mm on a bader leather, which admittedly has got a bit loose, and I normally wear the strap or bracelet tight and the watch as close as possible to the hand rather than up the arm and have never had any problems even when the strap was tight.

I learned to change wrists when a watch starts to bother me during the day. Works reasonably well.

The crown is very sharp on the end points of the fluting, it was scratching my skin so I got a needle file a just took the points off on the under side of the Crown.
I also find the case back a bit rough too.
I really like the c60 and think it's good value for money but I guess at that price point that's the level of finishing you get.

IMHO, if you wear your watch on the correct part of your wrist, as in this picture borrowed from blowfish89,
you'll never get the crown digging into the back of your hand.
Just saying.

Re: Sharp crown pokes me in the wrist, anyone else?
Not all that easy at times and something i battle with as my wrist tapers to my hand so unless i tighten my straps too much which is just uncomfortable it travels down the wrist sometimes digging it to the hand, just feels wrong on right wristBahnstormer_vRS wrote:IMHO, if you wear your watch on the correct part of your wrist, as in this picture borrowed from blowfish89,

Re: Sharp crown pokes me in the wrist, anyone else?
I have 4 Tridents, 2 Pros and 2 GMTs. All 43mm.
I've never noticed a problem with the crowns and I wear them fairly loose so they move on my wrist.
Needless to say, after reading this thread I'm now more aware of them. Thanks guys

Lefty, watch worn on my left wrist as the pic above, no issue with my Trident.
And I agree with scooter.

I own a White Faced Pro 600 on a bracelet and have had no problems at all with it. It is around a year old now. But I bought a Vintage 600 in Decemeber 2016 on a strap and had to move it on because of the same problem you have. No matter how tight or loose I made the strap the crown would scratch and become very uncomfortable. May be a bunch of sharp crowns???

I have a few Christopher Wards. Love them all. But, my c60 trident pro 600 vintage has a crown that is both bead-blasted and polished in finish. Having worked in metal finishing in my past, I can tell they just didn’t take enough care in making sure their finished product would be comfortable. Form preceded function, in this case. To remedy the situation, it will blur the crisp lines between the bead-blasted channels and the polished surface. But, I will have take the crown off the watch, take a high speed buffing wheel and polish it more; focusing on the edges.

Maybe try switching to a leather strap from the bracelet? It will be easier to adjust it so that it sits right before the wrist bone. Its hard to get the exact fitting with the bracelet.
