Winding DJ41 problem

I thought I posted a thread earlier but for some reason can’t see it...

When I turn the crown in order to wins my watch, it doesn’t “pop out” smoothly, rather it jumps out when I start winding the watch.. is that normal?

The crown and stem are a captive, spring loaded, nut and socket. Simply unscrewing the crown does not always engage this nut and socket, so you need to wiggle it a bit.

Once you begin to turn the crown, it aligns and engages, as designed.
