PAM 111 issue: stem won't readily snap back in to the wind mode

I just received a Noob v3 111 from another member in an M2M sale. Wound the watch fine, it's a real beaut. Then I went to set the time and the stem would not go back into the first winding position again. Weird. I noticed that there is more play in the stem than in my 390 Noob that I have on my wrist. Also weird. So I set it down, face down to admire the case back and went back to work. Then I noticed that the balance wheel stopped, and in doing so, the stem went back to the first position with a satisfying snap.

Is there anything that I as a complete noob can do to get this issue resolved with a simple caseback removal and adjustment, or am I looking into a proper repair? Any explanation as to what is going on would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
