I'm very interested in this drop, but I'm concerned that the crown is not a screw down type. Does anyone have any experience with this watch and crown? If so, are there any issues with the crown being easily pulled, or with over winding?

ojinsaThis is not an issue. You have to deliberately pull out the crown, it won't just come out on its own. And you can't overwind the watch, that is not related to screw down vs. non-screw down crowns, it's a function of a winding clutch in the movement that prevents overwinding of the mainspring. Practically all modern mechanical movements have this clutch.

WillVautrainThank you for the insight, and I agree I should have made a better segue into my question about the overwinding issue.
I have other automatic watches where the crown is not screw down and it invariably will get caught on my sleeve or pocket, and will have a tendency to pull out. This is a frustrating thing for me that affects my enjoyment of my watches.
