You do have a very valid point there and I can't offer any augment but, I know with mine, I have to turn it backwards until I feel a "click." At that point the crown will screw in as smooth as silk. If I don't do this I am trying over and over to get it screwed down.Richard B wrote:Why turn it backwards? That achieves nothing. Just turn it clockwise and it'll engage at the next half-turn.
If you apply pressure on the reverse turn, it may have the effect of closing the opening of the threads together. They're always tapering to very thin at the start of the thread.
It is this exact issue that let me to Christopher Ward. I was on the verge of buying a Tag Heuer Aquaracer and read that a very common problem with them was cross threading the crown. The forum I was on recommended the C60 as an alternative and I fell I love the moment I saw it.
