Hacking mechanism won't disengage

Hi guys,

So I took my panda for a spin today and as wound it and set the time I pushed the crown back in but the hacking mechanism won't disengage, I.e. I can't screw down the crown without the hands moving.

Obviously it is going back to an AD for a service but I was wondering if this happened to any of you before and if there is anything I can do to fix it.

Cheers

I would leave it - best to send it in and avoid risking potentially damaging it.
