I've had my NTTD for a few weeks now. Out of the box it was great although the rotor was a tad loud. No problem, the sound was unnoticeable once on the wrist.

I grabbed it last night to open up and see if the rotor was loose, but a new issue emerged. When I rotate the crown to wind, there's occasional resistance and then it feels like the entire rotor is spinning as I wind the crown. I verified this was happening with the case back open. In addition, while winding the crown I feel a little click. Hard to describe but it doesn't feel right. Movement is keeping accurate time though.

Looking to bring it to a local watchmaker for service but just wanted to see with the community thought might be the issue.

With my new pickups I'll most likely be selling this (just haven't bonded with it) but I want to be sure everything is okay before putting it up.
