So, I've had my 5167 for just over a month now and i'm absolutely loving it! I just let the power reserve run out and thats when i noticed manual winding seems a bit odd. When i unscrew the crown i seem to have to spin the crown a couple times in the 12 o'clock potion before it catches and starts to wind. Normally i wind by spinning the crown in a 12 to 6 o'clock motion, but in this case as soon as you turn the crown in the 6 o'clock position the crown feels like it's free floating and you can spin it 3-7 times in the 12 o'clock position before you feel it stop at the winding gears. Hopefully i wrote this in a way you guys can understand. Is this normal with the 324 movement? or has anyone heard of this before?

Thanks
