Thank you so much for your comments dear Holdemchamp. Yes this crown is really stiff. As we had talked this theme around Speedmasters crowns in another thread, it doesn´t surprise me...

... as it is a very usual issue with brand new Speedies but fortunately it becames better with use.
I employ a similar technique to wind my stiff crown watches as you suggest. It really helps, but still it is a pain to wind. My Moonshine is a little better, but also stiff but I had given it very little wear.
I got a little winding tool to wind stiff or very small crowns but try to employ it little as I fear to damage the crown or stem. My 15202 Jumbo AP is also difficult to wind and sometimes I use that tool.
I have to be patient and enjoy the watches!
Cheers! Abel
