iceshark099 Posted April 25, 2012 Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 Just received an Ebel 1911 Panda and the rotor is pretty loud, does a service usually help that out or do I need to do something else to quiet this thing down? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankt Posted April 27, 2012 Report Share Posted April 27, 2012 Loud compared to what..??? Virtually ALL automatic watches have rotors than can be readily heard when turning....That's how the watch gets wound.. Unless the noise is really loud, and "scraping like" it's usually best to just get used to it... There should be a "sticky" about this issue, since it seems to arise every few weeks over the past 5 years or so.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shirotenshi Posted April 28, 2012 Report Share Posted April 28, 2012 if its a 21J, they are pretty loud usually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceshark099 Posted April 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2012 thanks, seems like it is pretty common, wont worry to much about it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mt666tm Posted April 28, 2012 Report Share Posted April 28, 2012 I always take off the rotor and put a drop of mobius on the bearing on an A21J If it's an A-7750 and you can replace the rotor bearing with a Swiss ETA bearing. Some rotors with saw-tooth bearing you may have to have them machined a bit to accept the ETA bearing. It will be silent after you do this. If the watch is a keeper and has a display caseback it's a must! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FxrAndy Posted April 28, 2012 Report Share Posted April 28, 2012 Just remember that Swiss 7750 can be loud too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWG Technical Posted April 28, 2012 Report Share Posted April 28, 2012 Agree, ETA 7750 rotors in my experience are very loud, I haven't noted any difference in the noise between the A7750 or an ETA7750... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosmosblau Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 The Rotor may be loose. I've had 2 watches arrive that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
