Question regarding to AP Chronograph 26331st Winding Sound

[phazeon]

Hi, for the current owners of AP chronograph, do you notice any difference in sound when manually winding the crown compared to other RO models (or any Rolex models as comparison)? I purchased 26331st new last year at an authorized dealer, and never really thought about it until recently comparing to newly bought 15450st when winding the crown.. it's a bit difficult to describe, but the chronograph doesn't have the traditional clicking noise when you wind the crown and rather has a bit of grind, albeit not forceful. I suppose it's best to check with AP service center, but I felt that it was better asking here first to those of you who already own the piece.

I have a 26315ST and have the exact same experience. There isn't an audible clicking sound that you typically hear when winding say a Rolex, the sound/feel is much closer to a gentle grinding sound as you described. That said, the watch runs fine and time is keeping well though I was a bit alarmed at first.

Curious to hear from other ROC owners?
