crown. How tight??

[The Oak]

Always obsessed about how tight I should make the crown. As much as I can?

We had a thread about this a few days ago

Does this apply to all watches with screw down crown?

[Overkill]

I guess so... I mean you should never over tighten the crown so as not to damage the threads or the seals. I also read that Triplock crowns are waterproof even without being screwed down... so it's really not necessary to screw down your crown very tightly. What watch do you have?

Yes it is

I usually go finger tight until it won't turn anymore.

I don't see a need to crank it down super tight, just tight enough

The ole saying!!!! Just enough! Finger tight I agree!

Didn't tighten my Seiko enough and it fogged up! OK in a seiko not on a rolex.
