Utheman Posted January 1, 2010 Report Share Posted January 1, 2010 (edited) Hi all, I've been listening to the ticking sounds of my mechanical watches recently (both gen and replicas) and I noticed (not un-expectedy mind you) that each type makes very distinct ticking sounds. For example. My gen 16610 Submariner (new in 1992) has a very strong metallic ticking with a weaker, lower toned, kind of musical beat secondary sound. My rep Explorer II w/ ETA movement has a weaker ticking (not so metallic sounding) with a weaker, higher pitched, musical beat secondary sound. Not having the gen AND replica of any specific model, I was wondering if the ticking sounds of a well serviced watch could be used to help determine whether a particular watch is genuine or replica. Would all gens of a specific model always sound the same? I did some searching in this forum only, but wasn't able to find much relevant info. What do you think? ww Edited January 1, 2010 by wwarren Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fakemaster Posted January 2, 2010 Report Share Posted January 2, 2010 Not really a way to tell if it's gen or serviced by the sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
