| Post subject: | Question.....Did I damage my new watch? |
Hello- Seeking opinions.... So I purchased my new Superocean Heritage 42 last week with the blue bezel/silver stratus face/steel mesh band. Looks great and from all I read about the watch prior to buying it, most really liked it as a watch. I did not wear it at all theists eked so of course the power died and I had to wind it this morning. Here is what I am asking... So because it was my very first time winding it, and my first time owning a Breitling, I had the crown in the locked down position. I am so used to my Tag so I thought the crown needed to be "popped" open to the first position in order to begin to wind it. So I tried to lightly pull the crown to the first position but I still had it in the locked down position instead of having turned in a half turn in a counter-clockwise direction. I only tried to lightly pull the stem twice until I stopped to read the instruction manual. Did I cause damage to the crown/stem by lightly trying to pop the stem outward?? I did not tug it or anything but because it is not meant to be pulled out even lightly when in the locked position I am a bit worried. Thanks for opinions on this. |

Unless you were yanking on the crown with all your strength, then I'm pretty sure you didn't damage it. |

Roffensian and Driver have already answered this question in a previous thread. Look at their post numbers and likes etc and you'll see that really you don't need any more answers. |

This isn't about opinions. You lightly pulled on a screwdown crown, there is no possible way you came within a million miles of damaging it. If that worries you I hate to think what kind of things you are going to worry about when you start wearing it! Relax, enjoy the watch. |
