crown: Also called a stem or pin, a crown is the knob/button on the outside of the watch case that is used to set the time and date. In a mechanical watch the crown also winds the mainspring. In this case it is also called a "winding stem". A screw in (or screw down) crown is used to make a watch more water resistant. The crown actually screws into the case, dramatically increasing the water-tightness of the watch.

What does finding a watch mean?

1) Someone else lost it - possibly to be interpreted litteraly as they are "out of time" 2) You found a watch - a reward may be in the offing for "doing the right thing" 2a) You found a watch - "time is on your side." 2b) You found a watch - you may be being reminded to "watch your time".

How do you know if the guy is into you?

Watch his eyes, and how he changes when he sees you. If he positions his body towards you, even from across the room, then he might be interested. I don't know how old you are but young guys are very shy until they get their feet wet. Don't push it, just be nice, and a bit mysterious. Works all the time.
