until it stops

I grab my best Snap-on pliers and make sure it's tight.

Per Rolex " Always tighten the crown all the way to the case to assure maximum water resistance".

If the crown touches the case thats a sure sign the seal in the crown cap is badly worn all the crown needs is just finger tight no force is necessary.

Finger tight....

MrMercedes · 2 January 2020, 08:37 PM

Just still it stops! Never to strong.

brandrea · 2 January 2020, 09:14 PM

Till it makes gentle contact with the case

77T · 3 January 2020, 01:41 AM

1.7 to 2.3 Nm

Very tight. I actually use a pliers; particularly on my Submariner

Droolex · 3 January 2020, 07:04 AM

Definitely till it naturally stops. No need to overdo it.

Never over-tighten anything.

Tensions vary depending on application

For this application, no more than finger-tight. Crushing your gasket will wear it out faster.

"screw down the crown tightly", not screw it down until it stops....FYI
