Hello, love the forum. I just got a Bently GT and had a question about the winding. When I wind the watch it seems to force the "little second" hand forward. is that normal?

No.

When winding the running seconds hand should continue running as normal, no difference from if the crown is screwed in.

Are you saying that the running seconds hand goes around faster than normal?

Let me clarify, the little second hand does not move faster than normal. When I am winding the watch, it seems to force the little second hand forward when I am moving the knob.

The running seconds hand is supposed to continue to run when you wind the watch. If it is still rotating once per minute then it's operating normally.

Thank you! I made a colleague with a Breitling wind his watch for me and it did the same thing. I suppose I am just a bit overprotective of my first swiss masterpiece.
