Tudor rotor noise/ wobble.

Anyone else notice how loud and '7750' ish the Tudor Black Bay MT5601 rotor is?

That would be the ceramic bearings. The Rolex 32XX calibers exhibit the same thing. Personally, I hate it and would much prefer the dead silent rotors.

I'm not sure if it qualifies as loud, but I love the noise my BB makes.

My THC blue is a bit 7750’ish. But my Ranger is silent.

Ceramic bearings, while louder, are actually a good thing. Sound is completely normal.

MT5621 in my North Flag has always been very loud to me. Never researched what kind of bearings are in it but after reading this would assume ceramic? The rest of my Tudors all have ETA movements.
