Help needed from Lemania 5100 experts!

Hello!

I got a new Tutima running on the Lemania 5100 movement. I noticed something about the crown system:

As we know, the L5100 got 3 crown position, position 1 is the winding, position 2 for quickset day/date, position 3 for time adjust.

When the crown is at position 3, I can't get it to position 2 even with the most controlled gentle push, it goes straight back to position 1.

In other words, the only way to access position 2 is from position 1.

I find it odd because from my previous experience with two L5100 watches, a Sinn 142 and my ex-Fortis chrono, I could always go from 3 to 2.

Is this a concern? Why on some watches I could go from 3 to 2 and on another I need to go from 3 to 1 to 2?

Would someone knowledgeable explain please?

Thanx in advance.
