Received new PAM 089, Question about rotor noise and vibration...

[Ricardo L]

The new PAM 089 i just received has something peculiar .. 

 

When i type or move about i can hear and feel the rotor (or what i guess is the rotor) spining inside the case (i've owned other automatic watches where this does not happen) .. 

 

The rep i got has an asian 7750.

 

Anyone else have experience with 7750's and should you be able to hear and feel the rotor inside the case? .. 

 

Is this something that likely can be fixed simply by servicing the movement and tightening something down?

[Ricardo L]

umm - well after doing a little googling, it seems that the noise and wobble is a characteristic of the 7750 movement. -- i'm glad, since it means i didn't get a defective watch -- 

 

photos coming soon.

Asian 7750 has a noisy rotors, Swiss on the other hand is quieter

Hope this helps

noisy 7750 rotors are more noticeable in titanium cases - so, it is normal

I had the gen 089, and it was wobbly and even a bit noisy too. A recommended spa at your local watchsmith will probably make it nicer... it's well known that the movements aren't so well cleaned and oiled from the factories.

Perfectly normal..actually after a while you will start enjoying it and, ironically, get worried at times when it doesn't happen

 

Oh yes PHOTOS!!!!
