Hi everyone,

I am onto my second Rolex, as I have recently picked up a GMT Master 2 (BlackBlue on Jubilee aka Batgirl). My first is a Milgauss.

Posting here as I have a feeling something is off when I wind the Batgirl, and namely that after a few winds I start feeling a crunch and resistance to winding, which I never feel on the Milgauss (or my Tudor BB41 with the METAS certified movement). Now I expect that resistance in manual wind watches, but AFAIK it is impossible to overwind an automatic, and I have never encountered this response in any other automatic watch I have owned.

Is this to be expected on this model with a caliber 3285 or is it a fault?

Thank you in advance for sharing your thoughts!

Cheers,
John
