Hello, fellow members:
I need some advice on my most recent acquisition, the Aerospace. This watch hits all my checklists (multiple time zones, thin, light, ana-digi, comfort) and I love this watch. But the one aspect that doesn’t work for me is the time setting.
During the search for this watch, I’ve watched many ‘how to’ videos so I knew about all the modes and the operation. I was excited to try the ‘quick’ turn for changing the hour hand and the ‘slow’ turn for the minute hand.
When I finally received the watch, I just couldn’t perform the quick turn. My hands aren’t at 100% anymore due to something that happened at work, so it’s quite difficult for me to do even the slow turns. I can barely manage to change the minute hand. I do want to note that I’ve never had any issues with setting time on other mechanical/quartz watches.
With the recent DST time change, it took me 5+ minutes to turn the crown enough to go forward an hour, and my hands were in quite a pain afterwards. I even enlisted my wife, but she could not get the quick turn either. So my question to current/former owners of Aerospace…
Would you consider this to be my issue (my hands not able to turn the crown fast enough), or does this sound like a typical issue for a watch needing a service?
Also, I’ve never had a watch with AR coating on the outside before. No matter how often I wipe the Crystal, it keeps looking like this. Does it look like the coating has been compromised?
Thank you for any/all advice.
