I have 2 Rolexes which have very different winding experience.

1993 12470 Explorer with 3000 calibre
2003 16710 GMT with 3185 calibre

The GMT winds very smooth with little resistance while the Explorer is a lot more sluggish. The Explorer keeps good time and the watch store said it was just serviced when purchased a little over a year ago.

My question is whether this sluggishness is inherit to the 3000 calibre or if this is a sign of needing service soon.
