15407 vs 15500

Hi, for members who own these 2 references, I just realised the crown of the 15407 seems more fragile and feels abit shaky compared to the 15500 when it's fully pulled out. Is it just me or is that the way it should be?

I don't have the watches handy, but given the much smaller movement in the 15407 and therefore longer stem of the crown, that may be "normal".

The 15500 definitely feels sturdier. Like @VogelPhoenix mentioned, it probably has to do with the fact that the 3100 series movement in the 15407 is smaller and the stem has to be longer.

Thank you for confirming. I thought it was just me.
