Rolex Watch Idiosyncracies

[aalyu]

Currently own 2 Rolex watches, one datejust and Milgauss. I noticed the two watches have different Idiosyncracies in terms of winding feel, adjustment of time and power reserve


DJ
Winding feels - smooth
Adjustment of time - Somewhat Smooth
power reserve instantly works upon little shaking (not used for 1 week)

Milgauss
Winding feels less smooth
Adjustment of time - Extremely soft and smooth
Power Reserve requires more effort in shaking before it powers back on (not used for 1 week)


Tried a different unit for the Milgauss but exactly the same model no. and the adjustment of time feels different from mine as well as the power reserve powers back on faster just with little shaking.

How consistent are Rolex watches in terms of these idiosyncracies? are they supposed to be all exactly similar?

I had a BREITLING that had some issues like you are describing. One of the plates holding the movement broke. I sent it back within return period.

Wow thats kinda extreme, for mine I feel as though the consistency in quality should be more in line, was just wondering why this is so for the 2 units

Why do you have to shake just use the winding crown thats what its for,but all movements might need a gentle swirl to start even after winding all normal.

The minute hand on my 116600LV only set true (without a flinch) going in one direction. I was told by the Dallas RSC that was a idiocincrasy found in the submariner line.

It cant go the other direction? From what I know its the bezel that only goes one direction
