I use the little lever to push the stem in after setting date and time. Is that ok?
I always end up moving the minute hand if I try to push the stem in by hand.

Regards.

That's how I do it, every time.

I've always wondered the same thing...

That's how it was designed - hence the rounded point of contact. No harm to your watch at all! Otherwise, it would just be a little flat lock. Now go enjoy that Pammy!

An AD told me once to not do that. That AD was full of $hi* though...

I don't do it that way. I see when I do that the crown tilts meaning I'm putting pressure on the stem. If once you are done setting the time, just put a tiny bit of backwards twist on the crown. Doing that the minute hand won't move at all when you push it in.

That is just me.

under water the clasp will be putting way more stress on the crown, so I can't see it being a problem using it to push the crown in.

I remember reading some info that said the guard was only designed to make sure the crown could not be left in the open position,so was designed to be pushed in using the lever and that the guard is also there to stop the crown being accidently being pulled out whilst underwater,not sure if that is correct?
