Question for 'movement' experts and multi-Rolex owners...
First of all...I am a WIS!!!! (Or as she told me this morning, I am crazy!). I pulled out this baby this morning and set up the time, and found that winding and time setting feels 'tighter' than, say, my 16233 DJ. My DD was recently serviced @ RSC (under a year) so everything should be ok on that side. Do you find that different watches 'feel' different while winding/setting?
 (I have to add pics to a) Keep this in the Rolex Forum and b) because I love this watch!!!) |

My WG Sub is significantly "stiffer" than my DD, GMT, Datejust, etc when winding. It was at RSC within the last 2 months. My suspicion is that you get a stem on the + side of tolerance and a gasket/seal on the - side of tolerance, and end up with a very tight seal.
It's not something that concerns me unless it doesn't feel "smooth" whether tighter or looser, or there's some other misbehavior. |

it varies for me between different models, which I guess by size and complication makes sense

My DJ (116233) has a very smooth winding and setting feel. My former EXPII (216570) had a slightly stiffer feel. My current GMTII-C has a smooth feel when I wind it or move the hour hand however, releasing/tightening the crown from/to the case and pulling it out to the various positions all feel more than a little stiff. I don't suspect any problems and just chalk it up to being new and/or due to being a Triplock??

My Daytona feels different than my Sub, each movement is different so should be ok.
