I nearly forgot about the very first question ^^
I have 3 manual watchs and all share the same "feature": as soon as I wind the watch, I cannot pull the crown out anymore. I have to slightly "unwind" (technically it does not unwind anything but you get the point) to unlock it.
And no, they are not supposed to be screw down crowns
Anyone also experienced this and any idea of what could be the cause? (V92, 930, and GP12.3 in case it matters)
I am guessing that the torque applied when winding creates a kind of lock between the winding pinion and the sliding pinion but I do not understand why exactly... (the 930 is in deep need of service and even more - but the 2 others were taken care of recently - at least supposed to be)
