I can feel the rotor on my 116519 normal?!

Just got the oysterflex Daytona on WG from a reputable grey on the forum...then was searching up to see if the vibration I feel is normal when I take off my watch. I went down this rabbit hole and found a forum much like ours where people geek over replica Daytonas. Just want to know if other owners are familiar with this sort of vibrations/sound I’m getting from the movement?!

It is normal to hear the rotor moving on the Daytona as it uses a ball bearing for the rotor. Vibration isn’t normal.

I guess I wouldn’t call it a vibration but more like I feel movement when I rock the watch back and forth

That’s normal. I have owned over 20 Daytona’s, including the 116519, and they all were the same as you describe. Enjoy your Daytona.

First we do not talk about replica anything in the Rolex watch forum,second all watches with a ball bearing rotor will make a slight noise or even vibration when the rotor pendulum swings all normal.
