Will do, especially when I get the bracelet!

Look forward to them, and that ill-fitting 19mm straps removal.

Great piece...wear it well.

visualplane · 14 March 2023, 01:22 PM

Thanks!

The bracelet makes jangly noises, and the movement makes a squeaky sound but I was told it's ok.

Can you elaborate on “squeaky sound”?

When I move my wrist in certain ways, especially raising it above, I hear a squeaking sound. I took off the strap and it was still making the sound so it's from the movement. My seller said it's an old watch so it makes a squeak sound and it's normal. I did some googling and it appears to be normal on some older watches.

I have had and still own many vintage Rolexes, and none of them have movements that squeak. Bracelets, yes, but not movements. I don't agree it's normal.

swaini3 · 15 March 2023, 05:42 AM

Squeaky sounds are not "normal" for these watches

visualplane · 15 March 2023, 05:47 AM

Checking with my dealer now...

visualplane · 15 March 2023, 05:50 AM

This is what he said:

"It just left my watchmaker, it’s running with strong amplitude, keeping time within COSC, passed pressure, etc etc"

"If you want me to bring it in to be taken a look at: I stand by my word that I’ll cover anything on that baby movement related for 2 years."

CTech · 15 March 2023, 05:50 AM

The squeaky sound might be related to the perpetual rotor, possibly the axle or possibly the rotor is contacting the inside of the case back.

As other have said, it is not normal and so it would be worth having the case back removed and investigating it further. A watchmaker could do this and look for rub marks on the inside of the case back, play in the rotor axle, loose screws, etc.

visualplane · 15 March 2023, 06:27 AM

I think it's strange if I was told a watch was "just serviced" why it would be making the sound.

ladd · 15 March 2023, 07:22 AM

Beautiful, Congrats

None of those measures relate to the autowinding. Is the squeaking you hear related to the rotor? Maybe you can tell based on when you hear the noise. If you aren't able to tell, maybe you should have the watch examined by your own watchmaker.

I first noticed it when I was adjusting my glasses. So when I raise my watch hand at eye level and do a little turn that seems to happen.
