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. :guns: :guns:

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. :bow:

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...
