Screw-down crown

I've just taken delivery of my first Omega, a brand new Seamaster 300M Auto Chrono, 2551.80. Well happy with it, but did anyone else find the user instructions a bit lacking in places?

Particularly, I had *real* trouble getting the crown out to adjust the data & time. I was taking my Swiss Army knife to it (VERY carefully!) until I realised that it actually screws out slightly before it can be pulled out for adjusting.

Once I read back through the docs carefully, I found the screw-down crown pictogram on one of my cards, and the associated details in a small paragraph within the manual. It was not at all clear that this was how I made adjustments.

I know I'm a bloke and "never read the manual", but this seemed to be taking things a bit far.
