Mine the same, don't know why but as long as it doesn't hurt, I don't mind. Still, if someone has any clue to share why, that would be great.

I think there were some thread about this way back...there maybe something wrong--can't remember what the cause was.
Worth running to AD or Clearwater. |

You mean while setting the watch?
Or screwing the crown back in?

It's normal.
It goes 'gritty' when the mechanism is fully wound. If you let it run flat and then wind it - you will notice it will not go 'gritty' until after 20 or so turns. It's not causing any damage and just stopping the mechanism from over winding - so don't panic. When screwing the crown in it also continues to wind the mechanism so you also experience it then. I am not sure what you mean by the minute hand jumping - do you mean when you push the crown back in? |

OP, could you clarify, is it when you wind the watch or when you set the time? The minute hand shouldn't be moving when you wind the watch.

I had the same. After a year the watch was stopping. I just got it back from being sent in for service under warranty. Stated cause was the movement did not have enough lube. They said they cleaned and serviced the movement. Working fine but it's only been 12 hours.
