My Pelagos with the in-house is noticeably louder when the rotor moves now than it was when I first got it. I have heard others have had this issue as well. Can someone chime in on what you did? Is it fairly normal or should I have it checked out by Rolex?
Thanks

My pelagos is fine but just returned a black bay bronze , it really did sound like a bag of spanners and when i tapped the case back it just sounded awful

Rotor noise is not always a bad thing, in many movements it is a combination of movement design and the ability of sound resonance inside the case.

No sound on my Blue Pelagos chronometer. I've traded it for a SubC Date because of rough/tight crown when screwing/unscrewing.

It actually isn't that loud. However my past Rolexes and my current Omega Coaxial have no sound. Maybe the new Tudor in house movements just have a little rotor noise to them.

I had a similiar problem with GMTc recently. http://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=478451

Interesting, I have never had a Rolex that I could hear any noise coming from the movement(other than ticking of course) so that would certainly be a problem I would think.
Since the MT5612 Tudor movement is so new I am not sure if there should be some noise or silent like a Rolex. The sound I am hearing from my Pelagos is very subtle, not as loud as an ETA. I can here the rotor move however. It keeps excellent time at about +2 a day.
