Since some time i noticed my crown of my sub is sort of hard to open and fully close.. It feels a bit sticky like it is dirty or so which is imo impossible.. Anyone a idea? It bothers me a lot..

Lots of things need to line up before the stem can be pulled fully out.

If parts are a bit dry, it may be difficult; this would not be something that I would be overly concerned with and should be taken care of with a COA service.

Thank you for the reply! The watch is only from october 2017, is it than still not a problem? It just a bit frustrating that it more difficult to fully close it

If it is a chronic issue then it is very likely lack of oil. This would likely be covered by warranty and could be easily rectified, although warranty work takes time.

It probably does not impact the actual function of your watch and is more of an annoyance.

If it is a concern to you, have it evaluated by a AD or RSC watchmaker.

My 5 month old 116613LB crown is easy to rotate but hard to pull out. I have to exert a strong but careful effort to every time I have to adjust/correct the time/date.

Once I thought I pulled the whole stem out when my forefinger and thumb slipped suddenly! It was only then the crown was extended for adjustment.

My year 2000 16613 is the same way. Always has been, and hard to get used to.
