Crown on 114060 hard to manipulate
Hey guys, so recently I just acquired my first rolex, the SubC, and I love the watch. I never take it off. But I have some concerns about the crown, when trying to unscrew it to hack the movement it's extremely difficult. I'm concerned if this is normal or not because my friend has an older model 14060M and his crown is not nearly as hard as mine is.
For diligence sake I will point out both our watches lack the date complication and I went to my local AD for their opinion and they said it was perfectly normal and the threads looked to be in perfect condition. So here I am asking TRF for a third opinion, thanks guys! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

It takes a lot of practice to screw correctly

Unscrew the crown all the way, then lightly turn forward until the crown "pops" into place, then try to pull it out to set the time. If you are already doing this, it may need to be looked at again. Good Luck

It should not be particularly difficult to unwind the crown for use..
You have already had the Dealer say that it is normal, so it's impossible to know without further information..
