How does your Rolex sound when it is being wound?

frostie · 19 August 2008, 12:01 AM

click-click-click-click

It may seem a funny post but i am honest that is the way that it sounds

CKay · 19 August 2008, 12:20 AM

No other watch sounds like Rolex when it is being wound. It is one way to tell the real Rolex from the fake ones.

True

I've handled a fake one and compared it to mine it was different

Also the way the second hand was moving was different on the fake it was rather slower

Jedi · 19 August 2008, 12:56 AM

Mine sounds like ... zzzzz...zzzzzz....zzzzzzz and I don't mean snoring!

Also, Velitsko, with the speed of the second hand, it may have seemed slower because it could have contained a slower beat Jap/Chinese movement, say 6 beats a second as opposed to 8 for a Rolex and most other modern day movements.

Nah i think the chinese copies feel more solid

CKay · 19 August 2008, 01:18 AM

The correct sound should be:
click-click-click-click.

CKay · 19 August 2008, 01:20 AM

Lee, what is your Rolex model? It should not be making the zzzzzzzzz....zzzzzz....sound when being wound.

watchnut · 19 August 2008, 02:40 AM

Sounds like about $20 bucks a turn!

Rolexitis · 19 August 2008, 03:07 AM

zseriessub · 2 October 2008, 05:42 AM

I'd embed a sound byte if I could, so just imagine the sound "KA-CHING" makes. Ahh, the days when I could hear a pin drop.
