Daytona rotor
I bought a brand new 2017 TT Daytona just wanted to make sure if it's normal to hear the rotor move when you have the watch closer to your ear? Maybe a silly question but just wanted some clarification on if it is normal. Thanks again

Never buy yourself a Patek Aquanaut, my one of those you could hear clearly, driving the car and turning the steering wheel was playing a pin ball machine.....

As Padi says,
Modern Daytona movement is noisy relevant to a sub for example. The ball bearings have a bit of a rattle but are said to provide better longevity. Quote:
, (both are sold for me, I understand)I found it odd that my 5711 was comparably unnoticeable compared to the roar of the aqua

Yes, all good. You can hear the Daytona 4130 rotor on occasion unlike the other movements.

Yes you can hear it unlike the other "non-chrono" Rolex movements.
I questioned it too when I picked up my 116500 last year. |
