I have a submariner cal 3135 that recently presented an issue with the winder. I checked and I could see that the rotor when turned A/CW when realesed was steady. BTW when turned in the CW direction when I stopped the rotation it turned back. Not always. The clicking sound was not very regular.
So I took the winder apart, opened my GMT, took the winder from the GMT and put it on the SUB. This way I could realize the problem was the winder.
After some test it seems the SUB winder started functioning regularly again but I am not happy with the noise that looks a little bit different.
Is tehre anything I can do?
What if I use compressed air to clean it (after removal form the watch?
Thank you for you support.

Yes. Return everything to their respective watches. Take the Submariner to
a watchmaker or RSC that you trust. Better safe than sorry.
