I’ve noticed a difference between 31xx movements and the newer 32xx movements. The newer movements have a slightly coarser feel than the older ones.

My 116500LN and Datejust winds smoother than my 116610 and 126710BLRO; the Sub and GMT are slightly coarser.

The 32 movement feels comparatively coarse and gritty. It's normal.

Different watches, different movement, different feeling. Seems quite obvious no?

I actually have the reverse experience and do not know if this is unique to my watch. My 116500 winds with much more "resistance" than my other 2 Rolex watches.

It is less gritty when it has stopped but still much more noticeable grittiness/resistance than winding my Explorer or Sub for example.

Different mechanicals will naturally feel different.
Also the winding feel can be quite different between or after services.
