Crown question

[John Doyle]

Not sure if it's common but with my 5212 already fully wound, if i try to rotate the crown further in the direction of winding for a bit and release the crown, it moves back slightly on its own in the opposite direction of winding. I haven't experienced this with my 5235r, I wonder if it's something that requires a Patek intervention?
Obviously doesn't impact the watch wearing experience but at this price point you'd want your pieces to be close to perfect :) thanks in advance

Why are you trying to overwind the watch.

I like to align the cross on the crown and did it by turning the crown in the winding direction, which is when i noticed this. You own many pateks, would you know if it's normal / common?

Doesn't sound like something you should do
