In my experience, rough winding is often an obvious sign that a watch is in need of service.

BTW, when a seller claims that a watch was serviced, I generally take it with a grain of salt unless there is extremely convincing documentation. And the rough hand-winding suggests that the claim is total BS in this case. At the very least, I would have my watchmaker take a look in the movement. I expect the cap jewels will be totally dry.
