BLNR winding issue

[kinyik]

Hey all, hope everyone is keeping well.

Just a question for everyone. I recently had a BLNR go back to Rolex for dust on the dial (second time, first time it was sent in for dust on the crystal).

Having received the watch back dust free this time, I noticed that the watch is extremely gritty and clicky to wind at full wind. I know what watches should feel like at full wind with the clutch slipping, as I have tested it on a cal 3285 that I have and it just feels tighter not gritty, at full wind.

With the BLNR I can feel a clicking when I unscrew the crown anticlockwise, and then it's smooth up to 40-50 winds, and then it starts to feel like winding a vintage piece, and I can clearly feel the clutch slip every few rotations.

Power reserve I spot on 74 hours (Full wind, watch untouched). Accuracy -2spd which is again perfect.

Any thoughts? I'm a flight away from the official RSC, but of course can send it back via my purchasing AD but if that's normal then I would just live with it.

Thanks all!
