Jaeger Le Coultre Navy Seal Compressor crown locking system

Recommended Posts

Panerai1964

I have a problem with the JLC Navy Seal compressor crown locking system when the watch guard is in the locked for diving position i.e. with the white arrow showing up.

 

Basically, the small screw positioned under the crown is too high and blocks the guard going vertical in the white (closed) position, I could file down the screw with a metal nail file but is this recommend? This screw is blocking the crown guard from lying vertical when in the white position. Its annoying that the dealers quality control didn't spot this before mailing the watch to me.

 

Currently, I leave the red arrows permanently in the up in the open- not for diving position so that the crown guard lies flat and vertical but this means I cant wear the watch for swimming. Anyone else had this problem or recommend how I could improve the situation? I've also noticed that the crown works in operating the hands in both the white closed and red open position. Should the crown only work in the open (red position ) like the gen, or does the gen work like the rep work in both positions?
