    Greetings all. I have a Big Blue that uses caliber 1040. After unscrewing the crown and pull it out to the date adjustment position, I notice the crown feels like it's still "winding" the mainspring although I can adjust the date. When I pull the crown further to adjust time, this "winding" sensation disappears. Is this typical for this watch?

    This Big Blue?

    There should be no "winding" when setting the date ... Time for a service.

    Scratch the above - different watch and movement. Your reference to a 'big blue' threw me.
