Show it only pinching the crown one time to prove that you need to pull it out twice. Because I honestly don’t believe that you do need to pull it out twice.

Oh my I'm ashamed to ask you this but do you ever brass the pivot holes on 7 jewel hampden/champion model 3? It was my gg grand father's the case is a robust open face Silverode. I figure the case is.worth more than the movement. The dial is pristine

My grandfather taught me to always hold in on the latch when closing the hatch. That rhymes! That's a good thing to do because eventually you wont' have any metal left on the hatch to close it with. It will ream it down to where it wont' ever stay shut.
