question about sub vs gmt2

Hello,
My gmt2 is 2 years or so old. I hadn't worn it for about 4 or 5 months, and I don't know if it's just lack of memory on my part or if something changed.
One thing is that the winding isn't so smooth as I remember it. Definitely not as smooth as the Sub or SD I wound at the AD.

The other thing is that setting the minute hand is becoming like an art instead of a science. It has a lot of 'bounce', when I set it at a specific minute, then it bounces to the next minute, or somewhere in between. I have to fidget and play with it to get it to rest exactly where I want it to. This bounce seems greater than I remember it.

So I was wondering, if, on the Sub, ( movement is a little different ), that the winding stays smoother and the bounce in the minute hand stays less, or does this phenomena happen to all 31xx movements at some point in between servicings ?

Then I was also wondering for long term wrist comfort if there is any significant difference between the sub and the gmt2. My gmt2 fits great. The sub is like .5mm thicker, about 7 grams heavier and has a thicker clasp. Do these make much of a difference ?

I guess you can see I'm trying to make a case for buying a new sub. .

I was after the SD, but after trying it on over and over again, I am beginning to think I will not like the comfort level long term.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Floyd
