16610 submariner crown feels sloppy

Hi. I am new to Rolex with no experience of handling one before. I got a 16610 in lockdown and I am really pleased with it apart from the feel of the crown.

When I unscrew and pull the crown out it doesn't click into position like the other watches I have owned, I struggle to hit the middle date position every time, and when I set the time there is some movement in the crown before the hands engage if I go forward and backward on the crown.

Is this normal? The watch keeps time perfectly, and I am satisfied everything on the watch is genuine.

Thanks

No worries. There is always a decent amount of play in the hands on a 3135 calibre and the date setting isn't the most obvious compared to other brands. As long as the watch is running well, enjoy
