Sorta newbie question - Play in crown?
On my SubC.... When the crown is pulled all the way out to set the time should there be a small amount of play? I went to turn it in reverse to draw the minute hand back and noticed there was a small amount of play before it engaged to move the hand.

A little bit of play should be fine...as long as it's working properly.

Although it kind of bugs me that the amount of play is not consistent across watches with the same movement.
