Crown too small? Or uncomfortable??
Hey gang.
I’m really feeling this AT shades. But because it was still all wrapped up, I didn’t get a chance to play with the crown.
I have heard that the crown is too small or uncomfortable. Thoughts? Deal breaker?
EDIT: uncomfortable when winding it, as it’s too small.

I've been collecting for years and never had a crown, large or small has everaffected the wearability of the watch.
Go back and check the crown size to see if you are okay with it or not.
That looks pretty normal to me. Maybe a tad small for a diver, but average or so for a dress watch. I don't see why it would be a deal breaker.

When winding it. Not if wearing it. It wears beautifully

Sorry my bad. Not on the wearability. When winding.

I have an AT also, and found it difficult to wind. I found a crown winder with plastic teeth on Amazon cheap and I love it!

It’s very tight, and the conical crown is kind small.
I'd put up with it on that watch. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
To be fair, the crown is small, winding somewhat uncomfortable and the screw down below competitors at the price. Everything else is truly spectacular. Something to consider but certainly not a deal breaker for me.
Bracelet is nice!
That’s one of two fave watches from the Shades collection! I’d buy it pronto.

Apparently is quite small to grip and difficult to wind. @TheMightyOz comment below.
