How smooth the winding should be?

Hello,

I'm relatively new to the Panerai world, but I already have two watches, a Fiddy and a PAM 163. The Fiddy comes with Swiss 6497 movement, while 163 comes with a Venus movement.

Winding the 163 is very smooth, almost no resistance - at first I needed to turn the watch around to see if it is winidng at all. On the other hand the Fiddy gives quite some resistance, a lot compared to Venus movement, and more than all the other watches I ever had. Is this normal? Also the tic-tac sound is very quiet with 163, and considerably louder with Fiddy. Does Fiddy needs to be lubricated?

Nevertheless the Fiddy still keeps good time.

Thanks for your suggestions.

Matej
