Icon5 Is this normal?

How come when adjusting time and date on my wife's 31mm Datejust she has to turn the crown down to adjust? But on my datejust it has to be turn the opposite direction (which is up) to adjust the time and date.

Yes it is normal.

I have several different brands of watches and some go one way, some another. No big deal.
