Winding while screwing crown in

Hi

Recently got my IWC Top Gun V6. I think the A7750 has a problem: After setting the time and screwing the crown back in, I hear the typical winding sound. Is that normal? I read the 7750 doesn't like manual winding a lot and unfortunately this is what I'm doing when screwing the crown back in :-/

Thanks for a heads up

I experience the same thing with my a7750 based super avenger. I think it is inevitable. The upside is that it only takes about 3 or 4 rotations to completely secure the crown. I'm pretty sure the issues come from people who manual wind like 50 rotations...and do so fairly often.

Meah, stem is a fraction short is all. Nothing to worry about.
