miwan Posted January 1, 2011 Report Posted January 1, 2011 Hi guys and happy new year to you all! I just recieved my first rep 2 days ago and Im a bit confused about one thing. It looks great and it seems to run very good too. The problem is the sound. When I accidentily "shake it" just a little it starts to sound scary... like an old tractor or some for a second or 2 and then it gets quiet again. Is this usual on reps? Since it is my first, I dont know what to expect from it. Is this normal and if so, what is it? I have a planet ocean 422mm
miwan Posted January 1, 2011 Author Report Posted January 1, 2011 I might add that there is the asian 4813 movement. I that helps....
kbh Posted January 1, 2011 Report Posted January 1, 2011 Probably just the rotor that winds it going around. The only way to tell is to take the case back off and take a look. Make sure there are no loose screws.
maxman Posted January 1, 2011 Report Posted January 1, 2011 I agree,It's probably just the rotor,quite normal actually. If the watch Is keeping good time I would not worry about It to much,congratulations on your first rep
miwan Posted January 1, 2011 Author Report Posted January 1, 2011 Thanks, Well im not there yet to pick the watch apart to have a look... I guess I need more reading first:) This hobby is a bit to funny Im affraid.... Im allready looking for my next purchase (this hobby might be very expensive) I guess I have been spending to much time here the last weeks, my girlfriend suggested that she would dress up like a watch to get my attention! Kind of got the point but still, its really fun here so thank you for making this place so great!
rcook Posted January 1, 2011 Report Posted January 1, 2011 (edited) The 4813 is a rep of a Miyota (Citizen) movement, what your hearing is commonly refered to as 'Miyota stutter' and it's totally normal for the movement. I have/had the same gen movement in two other gen watches and they both also make the noise as well. I suppose that it's an indication of a good rep if they manage to get even the annoyances correct Miyota Stutter Edited January 1, 2011 by rcook
