Problem with ROO 44mm novelty

So I noticed the crown was rough to turn during wind up after about 5 revolutions. The watch had sat for about a week and was this fully unwound. I stopped and hoped the watch would continue winding itself automatically on my wrist tonight, which It did. Just got home and decided to try again and found it was still rough. Not only that, but it won't change the date anymore.

Has anyone else encountered this problem?

Never had that problem I am afraid. Might be a bent spine which means I am afraid a service.

Should just be a crown related issue and hopefully very quick/easy to fix.

Thanks guys. I've only worn it about a dozen times so needless to say, I'm not impressed.

Never heard about it before. It may be a quickfix but it might aswell be something more serious. Sounds very lemon-ish.

It could be on the keyless works or stem issue.. you would want to have it checked out before any major issue arise.

Does AP fixed several issues from the H series on the newer I series?
