SubC winding crown increased friction when screwing back in

Hi everyone. I have a question regarding the screw down crown on SubC 114060 or any triplock crown in that matter.

I have noticed on my 1 year subc that it added noticeable amount of friction when I screw it back in after setting time or winding. I have to use more force to make last 3 turns. Some times it even feels like the gasket would make a half spin with the crown (like the feel of friction of rubber against metal).

I use hand winding roughly once in a week or two. I also checked if I would have somehow managed to cross thread or even strip the crown but the crown sets in exactly same position as it was since the day one.

Could someone more experienced advise if this is something that must be reviewed by RSC or should I wait till my next service which is in very far future.

Thanks in advance for any replies!

Follow these experts advice, but the key is little ! To much and the crown won't screw down all the way! It happen to me.
