Is there any tool to use to pull a crown out to change the time/date? I'm thinking my teeth aren't the best to use.

I use the corner edge of a credit card. It's too hard on the finger nails.

No I bite them. My day at work is full of long, boring meetings. I find this is the only way to not doze off in them LOL.

I never had nails until a year ago but I never had problems pulling out crown.
Maybe it's your watch.Have you always had this problem?(other watches)

I find these work great for the dead skin impaired. Effective without overkill. Also great at removing those pesky crown gaurds.

I use a high powered electro magnet, it works awesome except for the occasional ripping the stem out of the case, but hey, at least I don't have to worry about breaking a nail.

Sorry, but this could make the list of dumbest questions ever. :thumbsup:
