I posted this in the general forum, but figured I should re post here.

I just purchased a new submariner and am concerned about a noise I am hearing inside the watch.

When the watch is held on its side with the 3 or 9 facing up I can hear a clicking noise like something is dropping from the 3 to the 9. When the watch is rotated the other way I can hear it drop back.

I had the bracelet taken off and it was still making the noise, so I have ruled that out. Has anybody heard of this before and if so what is it?

Thanks in advance!

Take it to an AD is all I can say..where did you get it from?

purchased it 10 days ago from an AD out of state. Didn't want to have to ship it back unless absolutely necessary.

Take it to a Rolex watchmaker in Houston, they can at least give you their opinion, before you go through the hassle of sending it back.

Could be just the winding rotor pendulum just swinging by gravity as it winds your watch how close is the watch to your ear a slight noise is normal.

Sometimes an audio file would be brilliant
