So i took the watch off this weekend and on Monday the time was off so I assumed it stopped. When you reset the time/date or wind the clock and you go to screw the crown ... does the crown screw in loosely or should it continue to wind as you screw? Mine continues to wind as I screw in the crown and want to make sure thats the norm - its my first self winding watch - thanks

It should wind all the way as you screw in the crown. Other models do this as well.

BTW, a pretty impressive choice for a first self-winding watch. :)

How do you like it so far?

I've had my B01 about a month and mine feels like it is still winding as you secure the crown.

It's perfectly normal that your B01 continues to wind as you screw in the crown. That's the way it should be.

But :uselesspics:
