My new Rolex

[elliotcarver]

Hello everyone.

I have a Rolex Oysterdate Precision with a manual wind.

Normally I wind the watch everyday, till the crown starts resisting to turn any further, I have never forced it beyond that point.

I forgot to wind the Rolex yesterday which resulted in the watch stopping today.

Now my problem: as it was totally unwound, I was able to start winding it very very smoothly and easily. I wound further, but the watch didn't give any resistance as it normally would(even after a lot of turns). The watch keeps time perfectly after some winding, that is not the problem. I am just afraid that something is wrong with the 'stop-mechanism'.

I do feel that there is resistance, but it is of some other kind: I can feel that the crown hits back but have to push further very gently for it to wind more, much less of a resistance.

Is this normal when winding up a totally unwound Rolex?
Could someone tell me about his experiences with this?
If the watch ticks, is it then possible that the winding-mechanism is broken??

Thank you very very much
Elliot
