Hi guys, wife's datejust stopped, so I helped her to wind...

I felt huge resistant when winding (watch is held at flat position) it was like some gear get stuck.

However when I held the watch upward (90 degree) or even turn it upside down, the winding seems normal, smooth.

Something wrong?

Yes, if you cannot easily wind the watch when held at any normal position, then something is wrong..

Yes stop trying to wind it and bring it to your watchmaker or RSC

Gosh, the watch is barely 2 years old, but it still running and keeping good time

My sub started doing funny stuff 2 months after it was serviced by Rolex. Winding felt a bit odd and then the crown wouldn't come out far enough to set date or time. Simply impossible to pull it out far enough. It's back with Rolex now.
