Hi Stephen
I have the same watch and have almost the same problem. My gains about a minute every week(mine is about 3 month old). I thought it needed to be "broken in" so I kept tracking of the seconds that I have gained everyday. But I gave up on doin' that. It just got outta hand. Also with the crown, I have to say that mine does make the same noises that yours make. However, I also have a Rolex GMT II and makes the same noises that my SMP makes everytime when I screw the crown back on, so do not be concerned with that too much. Personaly, right at this point, I am just tryin' to forget about the fact that mine is little faster and just tryin' to enjoy the watch.
Wish you all the best
regards from NY
