According to the specs, it's brass.

So my experience with bayonet connections is that would you push down and rotate the crown for sealing.

Does that sound right?

Blegh, pass for me. Also specs say 41mm but will definitely wear like a 43-44+ with those crown guards.

My recent, lousy experience with another reborn brand (Circula) compels me now to wait until this design has some reviews/feedback. Their T&Cs read the same as Circula's: If they send you a defective watch, the cost to return it for repair/replacement is yours to bear. So you are subsidizing their sales price. This policy is fairly common among small, undercapitalized makers, I get that. But I still don't like it.

I can't figure out their crown design...

All the best to those who take the plunge.
