Certainly the chrono pusher will be different. The 321 is lateral clutch so actually I’m not sure how much more buttery it is compared to the 1861 (vertical clutch is definitely smooth).
I couldn’t tell you vs the 1861 but I can vs the 3861. The winding is smoother for sure (not that the 3861 is difficult in any way). Nothing to do with the crown guards, just a smoother less ratchety feel.

Also the chrono functions are defo smoother. Again, not by much but there is a difference.

I’m no movement expert so couldn’t tell you why. But that’s definitely my experience.
