PAM 005 winding/movement issue

Hi!

I just recieved my PAM 005 v4 from Noob and im super happy about the appearance of it.

However, I opened the the lever and started winding the watch carefully, counting each round, came up to around 25 before it backlashes back after each spin, so I guessed that was the maximum winding it required to operate so I stopped winding.

Now here comes the issue - after some minutes it stops, and only works if i "hit" it very gently on the side, like a re-starter for it. Is this normal? What should I do? Very new to panerai, just thought the looks where awesome so I got one.

Any help is appreciated.

Update: It's the seconds @ 9 that stops after it has gone one full round (60 seconds I guess?) maybe the entire watch stops I dont know if the seconds@9 has something to do with the initial hands

Sorry everyone - thought the backlash was something that indicated the winding was enough, i winded 25 more having the backlash and now it works fine!

The crown will rotate backwards slightly until it is fully seated. Had the same concerns with my 111 since it was my first hand wind. Enjoy the new time peice.
