Hi All
I just received a beautiful looking SS GMTIIC with ETA clone (I think I may have gotten a swiss by accident but thats another story)
One thing I noticed, and unlike my other reps is that when I "tap" the middle of the crystal I get a kind of tinny, cheap sound as a response. Usually I hear a nice thud from my other reps and gens.
I thought this may be the crystal being non-sapphire, but I dont think that is the case. I then removed the caseback and everything was intact and looked good. I then had the idea that the rotor may be a bit loose, I held it down gently while tapping on the crystal and I heard the nice thud I hear on other watches. If it helps, I notice when winding on my hand the rotor is a bit nosier than normal.
Does anyone think I have a loose rotor that causes this sound? If so could anyone advise the correct tool to use to cure this loose rotor?
If its not the rotor does anyone have any other advise? I am willing to install a Clark if that may help.
Thanks!
