Help please!

Happy holydays to all!

Yesterday i was setting the time and date of my watch (Datejust 116200) when i felt a strange resistance during moving the crown forward and the hands of the watch were able to moved but with the same resistance. Then while i kept moving the crown forward i was heard a click and the resistance had gone and the watch hands began to move as usual. This was the first time that this has hapened. Should i worry? that could have been?


Thanks

As long as your watch is operating properly and keeping time within specs I would not worry about it.

Not really how to say this but perhaps the crown was in between gears so to say... Not sure if you know what I mean but I have felt odd things like thins before and had no other issues.

If it is working just fine I would just watch it and assuming it is fine the next time would not worry about it

Did this perhaps happen around 11:30pm-ish last night?
Or had the DJ stopped running between 11:30pm-12:30am?

No. It was around 11:30 am and it didn't stop running.

I will have to agree with other members here and say that if it's still working properly it must not be bad, perhaps it wasn't aligned properly and by turning the crown you put it back in place?

Thanks -
Have you considered that you knew it was 11:30 am, but the watch hands may have been advancing through 11:30 pm (in the sense that the Date was queued to change). Once past that phase - say around the 12:30 mark it would have lost any tactile resistance.

Just thinking out loud in the spirit of solving your question...

Thanks for your response. That is what i thought in first place, but usually i move the crown until the hands of the watch passes the 12 o' clock especially to ensure what is the real time (noon/ morning). I'm just starting to think that maybe could be that the gear that is in direct contact with the crown/stem teeth inside the watch wasn't alligned as suposed, tooth and space, but actually teeth with teeth. Then while i kept moving the crown, the position tooth over tooth slipped and fell into place making the click sound. After that, the movement snaps into place as usual and there were no reason to keep feeling any strange resistance.
