AP G series - 3126/3840 movement question

[VICI]

After letting the watch sit for a few days, while turning the crown to get it started, it begins to feel 'grainy' after 2-3 turns.

I tried to put it on a winder for 600 bidirectional rotations per day but the watch actually stops working for a while.

Not sure if it becomes over wound because by the Orbita website, that is the recommended setting for the 3126 movement.

Let me know if any of you guys think there is something wrong with the movement (re grainy feeling) or any best practice for not wearing the watch for a few days.


After setting the time, it works perfectly. (Prob not a movement problem and rather a storage issue ??)

When my Diver (different mechanism I know) is fully wound it feels grainy if you continue to turn the crown.

Once you get this grainy feeling - if you screw down the crown and don't wear it - how long is power lasting?

If you have 40+ hours then you have nothing to worry about.

I'm wearing it today and will see how long the power reserve lasts.

Just find it the grainy feeling odd.

I also think that is after it's fully wound...if it's easy to get to the boutique, maybe have them take a quick look.

Anyone else?
