The Breitling Watch Source Forums

The full question: How do I use it without breaking anything? I'm worried about forcing it in when I screw it - aka getting it to screw down and not just wind. How do you guys screw it down after winding/changing dates? Do you have to push in and turn at the same time, or what? I have done it but I can't do it consistently and like I said I want to avoid breaking something (also I love this Blackbird BS... it's so pretty)

Thanks for the help!

Hold the crown in (against the case) and turn forwards to engage the threads. You aren't going to break it as long as you don't use excessive force.

Oh okay, so I push it in against the case and then screw forward.

Thanks a ton! I just didn't want to mess anything up. Very happy with the new watch!

I appreciate the response Roff
