C5 Aviator
Re: C5 Aviator
Received my Aviator on Tuesday 11th! Just a day before I headed off abroad and 2 days before my Birthday, so very happy about that . I really do hope everyone else gets theirs very soon for any deadlines.
I got the black with brown strap. Very nice.
One question I have though, is regarding the crown & spindle. Once the crown is unscrewed there appears to be quite a bit of lateral movement - is that normal for this watch? Also seems to be easy to cross thread when screwing crown back in.

Re: C5 Aviator
JimG. Haven't noticed that much lateral movement in the crown and spindle of my C5 Aviator when it is extended, but do agree that you have to be careful not to cross thread when screwing crown back in. I have found that you need to give a fairly hard push on end of crown to make sure that the crown makes a positive contact with the screw thread fixed to the watch case before starting to screw the crown in.
By the way congratulations on the new addition!!

Re: C5 Aviator
Sorry for lack of pics, same goes for my LE Kingfisher, but I received them both within a day of having to head off abroad for work so I was running around like a blue arsed fly trying to get last minute family stuff done for Xmas since I will be away for that . Hope you all understand.John wrote:pics?
Many thanks for the advice on screwing the crown in etc. Much appreciated. I hope I haven't damaged the thread.

Re: C5 Aviator
I want to reiterate this point because it is the secret to screwing the crown down...at least it was for me. Here is a link to my page that has a link to the video Christopher Ward made for me demonstrating how to screw the crown down:Daz wrote:Also give it a half a turn anti-clockwise before screwing it on.
