Hi all,

I noticed that my 3185 (16710) makes a squeaking sound when I manually wind it. I can also hear some clicks when winding it. Is this squeaky sound normal?

I bought the watch a couple of months ago and it has had a service last summer.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

May need a service, a 16710 does not use 3135 btw

Sorry 3185. And it has had a service a couple of months ago..

I was wondering if it might be the gaskets?

Where did you have it serviced?

There is no gasket that squeaks - there are o-rings surrounding the stem - squeaking while winding is the reason you'd want to have the watchmaker who did the service to look at it while you have his workmanship guarantee...

The previous owner had it serviced. Will try to find the watchmaker and ask for his advice!

In the meanwhile I have made a short video do demonstrate my experience.
You can watch it here: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/...%2047%2027.mov

Please pay attention to the sound when I'm winding it at 0:12 - 0:14. And also near the end of the video.

Any thoughts? Or am I just imagining things?

Sound like the mainspring is fully wound and just slipping in the spring-barrel which is quite normal.

It also seems to be making this sound when it's not fully wind. To make sure I'll will wait till it stops and then start winding it again.

As long as the power-reserve after a full manual wind is around 40-48 hours while off the wrist.And watch winds while on the wrist and keep good time, and all crown hand setting etc is ok I would not worry about
