Aqua Terra Crown is NOT FEELING RIGHT

[997.2]

Have had 0 problems with this watch until today. 2503.33.00 w/ 2500 movement.

I set the time, because the watch had stopped, I had been wearing other things.. when I unscrewed it and it went from position 0 to 1, (screwed in to winding) there was some resistance at the very end, and a little pop. Tried it several more times. right before it changes to winding position I need to apply pressure (nothing crazy but it doesn't just slide into it like normal) and there is the pop.

NOT ONLY THAT, after doing that 5 times to make sure I am not crazy, NOW, when I screw it in from winding position to the screwed in position, there is some CONSIDERABLE resistance and it feels like there is some metal on metal. I feel the metal vibrating in the crown somewhere and it is NOT smooth to screw in.. I get some 'grinding-like' feedback. No clue what any of this is or what any of it means. Can anyone chime in?

Crack the crown out all the way to setting position and use the floss on the crown tube which is against the case.

Was a weird angle so I rested the watch on my lap and rotated it as I cleaned
