PAM 372 winding question

I just picked up my PAM 372 and noticed that the crown springs back just after a few winds. Is this normal? The winding feels so different from my PAM 177.

do you mean the crown spins in the reverse direction in which you are winding it? if so, you might have a problem similar to mine... http://rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=316234

hi guys,

yes, I opened the lever before winding and the crown springs back slightly in the opposite direction.

It looks to have some resistance, don't force it, best to take it to a watchguy to check or Panerai AD.

Are you referring to the slight movement in reverse when you wind it? It will roll back til the sprocket catches.

Is this an automatic movement?

Allready wound?

If so wait till it runs down (stops) and then wind it.
