Rotor Wobble ?

[chiko323]

Hi. Just a quick question guys. I got my 14060M today and it is an F serial never serviced (to the sellers knowledge) and when I had the bracelet off I notice that if I lightly shake the case I hear a light clicking noise. Could this be the rotor hitting something in there? Is this a sign that it is time for a service? Thanks,
Justin

The rotor bushing, no ball bearings, is a well known issue with 31XX movements. No real problem but get it serviced before metal particles invade the movement.

Ok, so this is a sign that I definitely need servicing now?

I would say most definitly. As the old Fram oil filter commercial says "Pay me now or pay me later."

I would say so. Hopefully you negotiated a service into the price.

Yeah, I got a good price, the reason I don't want to send it to Rolex now is because it is in mint condition so I was planning on giving it another year or so to accumulate wear before I gave it the servicing.
