while putting on my watch last nite, it made a strange (and probably expensive) noise. it feels like the mechanism is loose and can roll around inside the case. if you roll the watch side to side, it makes a slight "thunk" noise. any ideas??
thx

yikes I have no idea what would make a "thunk" sound. I'd pull the winding crown to stop the movement and take it in asap.

About the only thing that "thunks" or clunks is the rotor..

If anything else is loose, the watch will stop.......

Geez, I wouldn't think that thunking and chunking would be good.

Mine squeaks a bit unfortunately but no mechanism sounds thankfully. Though the squeaking is starting to become annoying.
