Loud movement
I have an OLD automatic tudor chronograph. just serviced by rolex in Prague last spring. Anyway I hope this is a mental thing but it feels like it's winding noise is very loud. I especially notice this when I write ( I am a lefty) is this all in my head or are these older movements all very noisy in general?

Probably a Valjoux 7750 movement. They are notoriously loud, rather like a little tank in there. The 7750 is a very dependable workhorse albeit a little noisy going about its job. Rolex used that movement in the first of the Cosmographs, before they went to Zenith.
Enjoy. |

My recent Tudor Chrono although not silent is very quiet, the one I bought my son however is very loud & felt sorta "quivery" in the hand. Had it down to RSC Bexley & they say it'd never been serviced hence the "cricket" noise.
They want £140 for the regular service + it needs new pushers at £70 & it'll be good as new & purring |
