Post subject: | Aerospace Question |
I recently bought another Aerospace to replace one I briefly had, traded it then missed terribly. It's a great watch and I plan on keeping this one forever but just like my other one, setting the hours with the crown has been a royal pain in the rear. ![]() ![]() Is there a trick? I swear I spent hours researching the web and all I found was what I already knew: Spin the crown fast to change hours, slow to change the minutes. So. Am I just a complete idiot that does not understand the difference between slow and fast or is there a trick, a way that produces consistent results? Thank you in advance for your help guys. ![]() |

I tend to 'flick' turn to change hours, and 'roll' the crown with my finger for minutes, but it isn't an exact science and sometimes I seem to struggle to get the hours to change. One thing I find damned annoying is trying to set the countdown timer whilst it's on my wrist (worse with my Avantage than the original Aerospace for some reason) as I just can't seem to pop the crown out. |

It is a pain unless movement is new or serviced recently. |

Thanks guys. The watch was purchased brand new just three weeks ago from an AD, with plastic still on it but it is the previous model so I am guessing it sat in the display case for a while. ![]() |

It looks like a design issue... |
