How easy is to pull the crown out?

I am wondering if it is a little hard to pull the crown out. Mine I have to pull or like to play a little bit withthe crown no too much, in order to move the min. and hours hands. I have a SUB that I bought it on 2005 brand new from AD. It felt to the floor like a yr. ago and was inspected by RCS in Los Angeles, Ca. and I got the OK from them after they inspect the watch.

I just want to know if when you pull the crown to set the hours and min. it should come straight out or if you have to move the crown and pull.

Once the crown is unscrewed it should come right out without any problems.

I think I understand your problem. Once you've unscrewed the crown, you need to pull it straight out, but in some watches this can be pretty hard. I have two watches with the same movement - 3135 - but on my TT YM, I find the crown very hard to pull out; however, on my Sub not that much of an effort is required.

I guess it varies from watch to watch.
