116520 chrono function question

two question re: the 116520...

normally, as the chrono seconds nears the 12 mark, the minute counter slowly starts to make it's move to then next minute, then 'snaps' into position.
if it strictly moves slowly the entire way and does not 'snap', is that a known problem of the movement?

does the reset pusher have the same crisp 'click' of the start/stop pusher, or is it more of a 'mushy' depression?

Not certain about the minute counter; regarding the pushers, on my new 116506 the rest isn't as crisp feeling as the stop/start pusher. My guess regarding the minute counter is that if the stop-watch is working accurately and full functioning I'd be happy. How long has the watch been without a service?

I don't know if it's a problem or just a feature of age, but on my recently serviced 116519 (which I assume is the same movement) it does the creep and then "snap" for the minute counter, and the reset pusher has the same click as the start/stop.

In mine, the feel and click of both pushers is the same.

The minute counter creeps in the end of the minute and then snaps.

I'm not certain what your suspicions are? Like I said, I can definitely tell the difference between the two pushers in feel (on a brand new top end watch) and as someone else said, they also see creep on a newly serviced watch. So your take away is that there's a problem with your watch and not just variation? Seems like and unreasonable conclusion. Have you had the watch looked at by a decent watch tech? How's its accuracy, amplitude, etc? How old is the watch and what is its service history?
