I can't seem to set the time on my used tag heuer watch
This is a used tag heuer professional that I bought used without instructions. I attempted to pull the crown out in the manner of most watches and it wouldn't move. Is it broke or is there something I dont know about tag watches.

Probably your watch has a screwdown crown and prior to attempt any settings you have to unscrew it. Some peoples fingers are stronger then others, so, try that with a pair of plyers. Cover your crown with a soft cloth and then grip with plyers(this will avoid any damage). Thread is right handed and unscrewing is done by turning the crown anticlockwise.
After setting the time don't forget to screw the crown back- it is for water resistance.
If you are unable to unscrew the crown, that means your watch is rusty and you will need watchmakers help.
PS If the watch is rusty, you can brake the crown off while trying to unscrew it. Don't panic yet, as in this case you will need a watchmaker anyway.

Thanks for the response....
I took it to my jeweller who did just that as you mentioned and now works all ok.
Thank you..
