Tudor 1926 hand-winding question/problem

I bought a Tudor 1926 for my girlfriend a few months back and it seems to be hand winding kind of weird now. I don't remember how it was when I first bought it but when I hand wound it the other day it was smooth for about 5 turns and then became very stiff to wind with the "clutch engaged" feeling.

It did start ticking after only 5 winds but I cant imagine that filled up the power reserve? Is this normal? It has the 2824 modified eta movement.

First there is no clutch all that happens when mainspring is fully wound it just slips in the spring barrel like it would do on wrist you cannot overwind.

Ok thanks, I'm pretty sure what is happening isn't normal so will bring it in to the shop.
