I recently purchased a pre-loved SS GMT-II 16710 (E-series). Typically when I wind any of my other Rolex watches from a full stop the second hand will start moving anywhere from the 5th to the 10th turn. However with this particular watch the second hand usually doesn't start moving until somewhere after the 30th turn.

The watch seems to be keeping good time and when I put it away it appears to run for a couple of days on it's own.

It just seems odd that when winding it from a stop it takes so long before the second hand moves. Is this a potential issue or is this normal for some movements?
