Just bought an Invicta 8926 can't get the crown to pull position 2 or 3. It is screwed down tight. Is it supposed to be turned counter clockwise to release the crown or is it just supposed to pull out easily?

The Invicta 6981 does have a screw down crown to unscrew the crown turn counter clockwise and pull/push into position to set time, date and other functions . To close crown PRESS it against the case and turn clock wise .You should be able to get a users guide if you enter into your browser "users guide for INVICTA 6981" , it might be a PDF format that you can use for further use . HOPE THIS HELPS YOU OUT .

Usually, after unscrewing a *****-down crown, pulling the stem out one click will allow the date to be advanced by turning the crown in one direction or the other. Depending on the movement, a clockwise turn of the crown may advance the date and the counter clockwise turn might advance the day of the week, for example.

If all else fails, pull the stem out two clicks and advance the watch hands 24 hours for each day you wish to advance the date.

Unscrew the crown by turning it counter clockwise until the crown is free from the stem. Then turn it clockwise six times. After this step push the crown in and continue turning it clockwise until it is once again screwed back on to them stem. DO NOT SKIP THE LAST STEP because although the watch will operate in the winding position it no longer water proof. A simple drop of water in the stem would mean death for your watch. If you wear the watch everyday I suggest you wind it once or twice a month.

Most good dive watches with a screw in crown need the crown to be pushed in and turned clockwise AT THE SAME TIME in order to screw in the crown fully and make the watch watertight.

When you want to adjust the date or time, you just rotate the crown counter-clockwise until it pops out a bit. If you gently pull the crown out to the first position you can turn it to adjust the date. If you pull the crown out farther, to the second position, then you can turn it to adjust the time.

Never take your watch into the water unless the crown is fully screwed in finger tight or water will get into the watch movement compartment and ruin it.

Good luck, hope this helps.

If your lupah has a screwdown crown (middle button), you need to unscrew it. Pull out the middle button 1 click (it should have 2 clicks...if it's all the way pulled out, then you have gone too far) and turn the screw counter clockwise. Some model's you have to give them a couple good turns to adjust a single day, so don't give up if you move it a quarter turn and nothing moves. Once done adjusting, just push the crown back in and lock it down (lock down crown isn't a necessity. It is rather a means of keeping water at pressure from entering your time piece. So don't freak out if your model doesn't have a screwdown crown. Not all of them do). Best of luck to you!

For Invicta chronographs to set the day you need to pull the crown out to position 3 (2nd click after releasing the crown/ furthest crown position/ same position to adjust time). You can only set the day by rotating the crown clockwise. Every 24 hours of clockwise rotation will move the day indicator forward 1 position (Mon>Tue, Tue>Wed, etc). If your watch is set one day ahead of the correct day (Its Tuesday but the watch displays Wednesday for example) you will need to rotate the crown clockwise through the entire remainder of the week in order to get to the correct day, you CANNOT rotate the crown counter-clockwise in order to move the indicator back a day.

NOTE: NEVER EVER set the date between 7pm and 2am or you will damage the watch!! The crown is screwed down to make it waterproof. Start by unscrewing the crown by turning it counter-clockwise until it pops out slightly. That is position '1' which is used for winding. Pull it out two more clicks to position '3' and set the time by turning the crown clockwise. Turn it past midnight at which point you will see the date change and continue turning till you get to the right time. If you're setting the time to a point after noon, be sure to go all the way past 12 noon before setting the time or the date will change at noon instead of midnight. If the time is before 7pm push the crown in to position '2' and turn it to set the date. When you are finished push the crown all the way in and turn it clockwise to screw it down.

The answer to your specific question is the 2nd instruction below...I've also included two other settings:
Here are the 3 main crown positions you need to know once you unscrew it from its locked down position:
1) unscrewed, it can be manually wound, in one direction [clockwise}...20 to 30 half-turns seems to be good to get it through the night.
2) then, pulled out one small stop, the date can be advanced by turning the crown towards you (ie, counterclockwise)
3) pulled out one more stop, the time is adjusted by turning the crown.
I hope this helps!
