Winding Issue

While I had the crown open for daylight savings, I tried giving my sub a good wind. Instead the crown gave some resistance in the winding position and the watch sounded like I was winding a toy car. It was making a mechanical hissing noise. The watch is 2 months old and I don't remember it making this noise or giving crown resistance when I first purchased it. Could this mean that the watch is already fully wound or is this not normal? Please let me know.

Could be fully wound. Let it wind down off the wrist and see if the problem goes away.

I always turn the crown anti clockwise a couple of turns before handwinding. Seems to engage the clutch part of the crown properly.

That's normal. It's just fully wound.
