Hi Guys,

I guess I have a problem with my El Primero TV as I can not set the time. I can pull out the crown, set the day but can not set the time. I am pretty sure I know what to do, not the first El Primero but the first TV, and I guess there is something wrong with mine. But just to make I sure: How do you set the time on your El Primero TV?

Thank you guys!

Can you feel 2 positions on the crown when you pull it out? I have 2 old El Primeros and on one of them, I have a hard time feeling the 1st position. I pull it out all the way and then push it back in slightly to get the 1st position where I can set the time.

No, that didn't work. Brought to the watchmaker and it was an easy fix
