This is a beautiful watch.  Everyone who sees it agrees.  It is a self winding watch though and needs to be worn every day or placed in a watch winder device every night.  I didn't wear mine one day and the next it was stopped and I had to reset the time.  Therein lays the problem.  The crown is backed by the metal end of the watch band and you only have access to the front of the crown.  You cannot grasp it and pull it up.  You have to try and flick it up with your thumb.  If it wasn't so tight, that would work.  When I tried, the crown wouldn't budge.  When I increased the pressure on the crown to where it was painful, the crown popped out and flew across the room, never to be seen again.  The watch went back for a refund the next day.
If you have an iron-clad thumb nail, you may have better luck.  Otherwise, all their other watches have the crown where it belongs, on the side.
