Minute hand slack when adjusting time counter clockwise

[AkshayArgade]

Hi TRF members ,please can you clarify a small doubt I have about my rolex dj 116234.
While adjusting time on my watch, if I move the crown counter clock wise, there is a small play in the minute hand. Is that normal?
for example. When I move the crown counter clockwise and bring it to 35 and leave it, the minute hand goes to 36.

If I turn the crown clockwise, it doesn't do this and is very precise. I wonder if my watch is ok?

Please can you help. Thank you so much. Have a great day guys.

Mine does the same but not so noticeable when fully wound.

To take that out you should "back it in" to the correct time when setting your watch meaning, when hacked, if you're setting it to 10:05 you should wind it bit past that then back it up to 10:05 then the slack will come out. Try it a couple times and you'll feel when it's "right".

agree with this, It stated this in a Seiko watch manual I had about 25 years ago
