114060 submariner crown winding position question

Hi all, i have a question regarding winding crown. On my sub 114060 (2016 year) it pops out two times: 1st - when the crown is unscrewed counterclockwise and 2nd - when you make 1-2 turns clockwise. After 2nd pop it is in in winding position. As i checked videos on youtube the crown pops only one time when being unscrewed counterclockwise to winding position. Please advise if my watch is ok?
Find pics for details.

This can happen sometimes and is not something to be worried about. The first pop is the crown letting go of the case tube threads and trying to expand. However, there is a clutch inside of the crown which allows the crown to disconnect from the stem when the crown is pushed in. This keeps the watch from being wound while the crown is being screwed down (more important in a manual wind watch). Sometimes, when the crown let's go of the case tube threads, the clutch isn't lined up and isn't allowed to engage properly. As you turn the crown clockwise, the crown rotates and the stem does not until the clutch is lined up and then you get the second pop. The crown and stem will sometimes rotate together even with the clutch not engaging through simple friction, and that's why sometimes it takes a turn or more for the second pop.
