When setting the time one pulls out the crown as normal. However, at that point the crown slips back into a closed-but not locked-position. The hands are set as usual and when done, a press of the funny little knob at 4:00 locks the crown in place. Dust-proof; and no unintentional moving of the already-set hands.

I will post some more pictures, with stones and Gordon's etc. in a few days.

Close. Some very nice finishing-not sure it is at Lange level. I need to spend more time with the watch off my wrist.
