Question Rolex 116519

Question on a Rolex Daytona 116519LN.Notice that while winding watch, out of Safe not used for 2weeks, some grinding and is not even or feels the same while winding and occasionally winds without grinding.
Anybody had experience with grinding?
Sorry posted On Rolex General.

Have a 116515LN, so same movement and there's no grinding. When it grinds, it is all the way until fully wound, or just the first 1/4 of winding?

The AD you bought it from would not allow you to wind one of the watches he had on display?

No issues with my 117519 grinding. In fact, had my watchsmith here in Houston do a full service 2 it’s ago. It wound wonderfully before and still now after. Sorry no help here.

No,I ask over the Phone,to please wind a watch to see if it was normal.
Was trying to save me a 2 hour drive.He would not even want to listen.
Today I drive to AD .and the word is Broken
Estimated time for repair month and a half.

Why do it right the first time.if you could do it again.
Probably it’s the new Quality Control way.
