Could you explain how they're easier? I thought all analogue watches were very similar - pull the crown out, rotate, push it back in.

- ljf 2y agoI assume the parent means to adjust the watch internals - changing how fast or slow it runs, and completing basic servicing. I have a couple of automatic Seiko's and they keep terrible time despite (fairly expensive) servicing, and they are made for home adjustments (though that doesn't stop a lot of people having a go).

Slight changes to that tolerance can "adjust" how fast or slow your watch keeps time. You can pop the back of a mechanical watch off and adjust these parts with a tweezer and put it back together, then see if the time is kept better. There's also machines that can detect the time keeping accuracy to help you adjust a watch's timekeeping this way
