Royal Oak Winding Question

Hi guys. So I just got my Royal Oak 15400 and I have one more question which is probably a stupid one, but since I'm wondering I figured I would ask. I noticed that as I screw in the crown, it continues to wind the movement. Is that normal for the Royal Oak? I've never owned a watch that does that before so it's new to me. Thanks in advance!

Is there a limit to wind the watch?

Mine had the same when screwing the crown, both movement 3120 & 3126. I figure that should be normal.

Yeah ive mostly owned rolex in the past which is why the winding seemed strange to me. Glad to hear everything is all right :)

I had the same concern when I came from a Rolex!

It is perfectly normal and you will get used to it after a while.
