Screwed??

I have just received my SMPC back from service.???!!
And now I have a question.
As with my other SMPC and my other screw down Autos,
When unscrewing the crown as it passes the last thread it pops out of the case a-bit…. Then you can pull it out to change the date or what ever.
Now after the service center (??) sent it back you turn and turn and nothing, it passes the last thread and it just turns …you must pull it out to the normal resting (winding position). I doubt I am making any sense of this….
Well now I have had the watch for about 4 months before I had to send it in and it did the crown thing before I sent it in and does not now.
I this just ok or is it something wrong…. I have now idea!
