The best explanation I've read was that Seiko is suggesting that you turn the crown in a counter-clockwise direction when attempting to get one of the crown splines to align with the pin. If you were to turn clockwise, you might accidentally advance the date.

    Tim, thanks for sharing this beauty again!
    All those pics and not one shows what you're talking about.

    I'll google some. Thanks for the explanation.
