: problem is a crown that screws down
: everytime i try to wind.

You are the second person since August to post about this same unusual problem. I hope this isn't yet another QC shortcoming on Omega's part. I see you posted in the thread below, and my advice to you would be the same - the watch needs warranty repair unless it is brand new and can be exchanged for a new one. Your crown should "click" into place when you unscrew it so that you can wind the watch. If it doesn't, your watch needs repair.

If you bought it very recently from a reputable AD, I'd suggest you take it back and ask for an exchange. You shouldn't have to wait 6-8 weeks for Omega to repair a brand new watch.
