I bought a YM 16622 (Movement 3135) a few months back (My first Rolex). Before finalizing the purchase, I had it freshly serviced with an AD's watch maker. (1 year warranty). However I am on the opposite side of the country for the next month.

About 2 days ago I noticed a slight winding sound (Like a ziiip) coming from my watch if I quickly moved my wrist. I haven't dropped my watch and can't remember banging it on anything. It doesn't sound like a scrapping, it is almost like its over winding. Also it is still keeping time perfectly.

I have been traveling to different climates a lot. Could the change in weather be affecting the movement?

Anyone have any experience with this type of sound? Or ideas as to what it can be?

Every one of my 3135 Rolexes has been completely silent when I move my wrist save for some bracelet noise. Not movement noise.

No "zipping" noise here with both 3135, 3035 movement.

Yup. Just a little scared to wear it, in case I am making it worse.

I'm not a watchmaker so take this with a grain of salt, but it's a mechanical object and I'd expect some noise.

If you have to hold the watch up to your ear to hear the noise I'd just ignore it.
