Strange winding sensation 4131 movement

[Seo]

Hi to the watchmakers

My new watch with a 4131 has a strange winding sensation. There is much more of a gear sound than what a normal Rolex 32xx 31xx or 4130 have where I normally only hear the clicks. This one sounds like I’m winding a seiko where you are hearing the cogs making a soft buzzing noise and feeling when winding. There is no crunching but there is definitely teeth meshing sound and feeling.

1 is this normal. Did they change the winding mechanism slight?
2 even if it’s not normal is it something I can ignore if it is winding properly?

Thanks in advance.

Just for everyone’s benefit. This is not normal, another new Gen Daytona was wound and felt exactly like the 32xx 4130 and 31xx.

The watch is running very well so I was advised to wait until 4 years or so for warranty.

It would be very interesting to measure this new caliber 4131 with a timegrapher, just some reference data for this new watch … and a comparison later!

PS: the new calibers 4131 (Daytona), 7140 (1908), and 9002 (Sky-Dweller) all have the Chronergy escapement like the 32xx movements.

Nothing to do with this thread.

Yes people know this is the case re the new movements, you don’t need to explain this.

Why don’t you buy some of them and test them yourself?

Is it possible that it is fully wound and it is the spring slipping? My new Submariner felt odd when winding and this was the situation.
Maybe wait a few days between windings (and wearing) to let the watch wind down and see if it feels normal?

No definitely not that, quite familiar with that feeling because of some troublesome 32xx movements I have owned.

This isn’t that feeling of the mainspring slipping, it’s a gear teeth meshing funny noise.

This is my 3rd Daytona if that helps with my familiarity with these watches.
