Should we only "prime" and not fully wind our auto Rolexes?

I have found as have others, that resistance on a new Mainspring can be a little misleading in some cases.
It may feel like it's at the end of a full wind condition but there may be some more to go.
After a while it settles in and feels consistent all the way to fully wound.
A definate stop point is unmistakable.

It's not unheard of around the Omega forums for newbies with manual wind Speedies to be mistaken about reaching full wind and mistakenly stop short out of being a little overly cautious, only to find that the watch stops prematurely and unexpectedly.
It's probably in the top 10 most common questions that get asked.
Some user experience and guidance and wearing in of the mechanism usually puts things right
