gimme Posted July 18, 2010 Report Posted July 18, 2010 I got my 5002 yesterday. First rep. Visually it is stunning (aside from the strap, of course)! Nevertheless, I notice that the winding sound is pretty loud, to the point that I can hear it after the slightest move of my hand in a quiet environment. Watch is keeping good time AFAIK and the power reserve is decent. Is this normal with this model (faux PW) or is something wrong with my watch? Doesn't seem to me that there are any loose screws, it's just the winding movement that is very loud. Wanted to make sure before writing my dealer.
Jkay Posted July 18, 2010 Report Posted July 18, 2010 The winding rotor axle or bearing just needs a spot of grease.
Bike Mike Posted July 19, 2010 Report Posted July 19, 2010 Sounds like your reversing wheels are gummed up. Is the rotor spinning while you wing it by hand?

gimme Posted July 19, 2010 Author Report Posted July 19, 2010 btw, time changes by moving the crown counter clockwise. All the watches I've had are the opposite: time moves forward by rotating the crown clockwise. But I also got an Omega Speedy Date and it works the same way, so I guess this is probably something to do with Asian movements? Thanks again.
Jkay Posted July 20, 2010 Report Posted July 20, 2010 He just means to say "wind it by hand" .. it was a typo.
