New clean factory submariner

[Raymond]

my submariner is a clean factory ,
new two days ago , is it normal to have a miss or little skip in the winding of the watch ? Seems like it does it after about five turns.
thanks

Yes. Remember you're dealing with a rep movement, so sometimes they will do that while winding. I've found it useful to give the crown the slightest of pull while you wind it. This alleviates that issue

Yes, even Swiss movements do that.

Hi guys, just chiming in. I had this issue with my original 3135cal. I though it was normal too but it turned out to be a bad mainspring. Between 5-10 turns while winding the movement, it would make a snapping/clicking sound (as skipping). I sent the watch back to the watchmaker to inspect and he found it was the mainspring. Hopefully this can shine some light to those who encounter this problem. I've read online some claim this is normal, but it wasn't at least in my case.
