quick questions about the Cal 12? *PIC*

Hi all,

Since I got my 11630, I'm still in love with this watch. But did have a quick questions - there have been occasions when I've let it wind all the down. And I usually give it a few turns manually to get it started up again. That said, it feels a little "gritty" and eventually gives enough resistance that I stop. Is that normal for a cal 12? On my other automatic watches, I never worry about overwinding but wanted to see if this is particular to the Cal 12. Appreciate your feedback!

Regards,
Alex
