Hello all! I have a 2020 Batman 116710blnr and when I set the minute hand counter clockwise and let go of the crown, the hand jumps forward. Simultaneously, the second hand also moves backwards slightly. Do you believe this is a fake movement or this normal for the movement?

Would truly appreciate some feedback

Also want to clarify the watch was purchased pre-owned

Pretty sure you're describing gear lash and it's normal. Mine does the same. Check out this post https://www.rolexforums.com/showpost...2&postcount=12

If I am understanding correctly, mine does the same thing with minute hand

Hand play when setting the time is pretty common across many luxury brands. Rolex is no exception.

That's normal there has to be very slight gear lash/play in the hands mechanism,in most all purely mechanical movements.

Question. Does hand play increase as the oils in the movement dry out? I had always thought a service would correct a hand play issue.
