Hey all,

A couple of times recently I’ve had trouble setting the date and time on my F serial Sea-dweller. When I pull the crown out it is fine in the winding position (although the wind is grittier than my 16710/16570). The issue comes when I try to pull it out to set the date, I either can’t pull it at all or it requires some force. Sometimes the crown seems to skip the date position so I can wind and set the hands but getting it to the date position is a real bugger.

The watch was RSC serviced in 2016 and had a new crown. The watch is also under warranty from the dealer.

Out of all my watches, it’s the most awkward to set. Any ideas?

My Sea Dweller can be a pain to set as well. The crown just doesn't want to pull out into the hacking position.

Interesting, I don't see those issues with my 16600 at all.
