Oyster perpetual crown

[Rolexakos]

Hello all, I have purchased a new oyster perpetual ref. 116000 from AD
I have noticed few times after I wind the watch then I set the time push back in the winding position again to wind couple more time that the hands move like it's still in position 2 but then disappears.

Note: I do not screw down the crown after setting the time. I like to wind it a bit more then screw back in.

I noticed if I move the crown counter clock wise a bit it doesn't happen

Can someone please advise if this is normal, beside than that the watch runs fantastic

Is it brand new ?

I wonder if it’s not popping back quite right. Is it the 3130 movement in that model? If so, I’ve had a few and sometimes found a little “sloppiness” in the movement when setting the time, but never this specific issue.

It’s always OK when you pull the crown out to the adjust position?

[Rolexakos]

Yes it's brand new and it is the 3130, and the crown always pops out to adjust the time.

I can’t replicate that on my 124060 with 3130 movement.

Maybe because most people screw down the crown direct after setting the time
That's my guess

The 124060 uses 3230 movement not the same

Welcome to the forum :cheers. Forgot to say that.

Nope, I do exactly the same as you. I like to give my watches about 25 or 30 winds from a dead stop, set the time and then give them 10 or 15 more
