stupid question...
hello, everyone!
i just got my EWC (Steel) back from the AD (it was sent in, because after 3 days i noticed considerable play in the 24h ring) and was so eager inspecting it that i opened/closed the compressor keys. like 30 times (i thought one was clicking more than the other.......duh).
Do you think i damaged the compressor keys and feature by doing so??? i mean they are hopefully tested for this kinda stuff (opeing and closind a lot of times), right?
I´m kinda overcautios: the watch has been away 3 months after 3 days of ownership.......
thnks,
Nick

Shouldn't
No way should that kind of use damage the compressor crowns. They may become more loose, but that seems like a natural consequence of use. One would think (hope!) that the crowns could survive thousands of openings/closings with the only consequence being...
i had the watch checked..
the waterproffness is still 100% and the AD said that its tolerable, that one crown is a bit more "loose" (thus being less vocal) than the other. Obviosly a pure cosmetic issue, no effect on the function. what do you think: is it okay for one closing mech...
I think it is
I think it is tolerable, and my advice, now that you have been reassured about waterproofness, is to start enjoying your watch and stop looking further for any potential non-issues, as if you purposedly search for a flaw, you might well find one regardles...
