In Response To: How tight to you turn it? nt ()

I know the feeling, I have always been bothered by this too. "How tight should you turn it?" Basically, what Mustafa said is right. I think it's the most appropriate way, I also do it that way. So far, my SMP's crown stops at the same spot where it has always been when it's tight enough. Don't force it everytime, it may ruin the setting and therefore it keeps on going further than the last spot you set. This is no good as eventually, it will spoil the crown. I also do the same way with all my Rolex. If you are sure there is something wrong, then don't assume anymore...take it to Omega service centre and have it fixed! Good luck, it should be ok and don't worry.
