Hi guys, I was hoping anyone with a po 8500 could chime in. When I unwind my crown it doesn't pop out like my other watches. Hen in winding positions, my other watches have a nori bile spring to them, you push the crown into the case and screw it down. My po8500 does not, it unscrews and doesn't pop out, just sits there, then has no spring when pushing in to screw it back down. Is this how these watches are supposed to operate or is this an issue?

My crown pops out, like every other watch I have. Sounds like yours has an issue worth checking out.

My crown pops out but just barely. It's not discernible by sight but there is a popping sound when it happens. I can tell it popped out because the crown can be pushed about 1/2mm in order to screw the crown back. It's small distance compared to my sub. As soon as it's in the "popped out" position, it can be wound.

My crown also pops out slightly (as compared to my Seiko divers). but when i depress the crown in the unscrewed position repeatedly, i can felt the "springy".

Hmmmmm mine has absolutely no spring to it, does not pop out at all... I'll have to hit an AD and compare mine vs another.

Most pop out with some good spring tension.

Mine has almost no pop. I know it's out when I can wind it. It also doesn't have a noticeable drop into its screw-in position, although it can be screwed into the case with no trouble.

I checked mine, definitely pops out.
