Has anyone had issues with this movement as far as difficulty winding and even pulling stem/crown out to change hands on dial (IWC 5454-08 with 6498). When I try to wind the watch it is very very resistant. It will wind but against its will. My other hand wound watches (talking just reps) wind without issue. Disengaging the crown is just as hard. You feel as if you need pliers to pull it out. Any thoughts would be appreciated. I am hoping it is just a quick fix. Thanks in advance.
