AM_ Posted November 15, 2013 Report Share Posted November 15, 2013 (edited) Hey guys I recently recieved my TC sub V5 and I'm really happy about it. It's such a nice watch. After I put it on a NATO though, I noticed there is a rattle from inside the watch when shaken. It sounds like something is loose inthere. Normal or can I fix it?

dbane883 Posted November 15, 2013 Report Share Posted November 15, 2013 Sounds like one of the retaining ring screws is loose. If so its a very simple fix. Open up the Caseback and check.If you don't have a case opener, use a ball of ductape. Sticky side out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSTEEL Posted November 15, 2013 Report Share Posted November 15, 2013 You sure its not the rotor you hear? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AM_ Posted November 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2013 I can't tell, I am a massive noob. like, when I quickly turn my hand from side to side it sounds like theres a little ball inthere that hits something and bounces up and down for a few secs. I dont have any ducttape, but I'll get something and take a look. Will probably post picture of my findings since I have no clue what I'm looking for inthere.

dbane883 Posted November 15, 2013 Report Share Posted November 15, 2013 Oh. That's just the rotor. Perfectly normal to hear that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AM_ Posted November 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2013 I see. It didn't annoy me anyway, can only hear it if I flip it from side to side close to my ear I will look inside anyway with the ducttape ball because it's exciting. Thank you, Sirs.

SSTEEL Posted November 15, 2013 Report Share Posted November 15, 2013 (edited) If you do open her up, make sure you have one of these before doing so, so that you can reseal it for water resistance...

freddy333 Posted November 15, 2013 Report Share Posted November 15, 2013 If the watch is important to you, I would take it directly to a local watchmaker & have him check it for you. It could be a loose rotor, but it sounds more like you have a screw loose (I mean your the watch, not you personally), which is a common with reps & can lead to very serious problems if it lodges inside the movement.

aeromatic Posted November 17, 2013 Report Share Posted November 17, 2013 A simple check is if you shake the watch face up from side to side you should hear the rotor a sort of scraping sound , but if you shake the watch face up up and down and hear a sound like something is loose then it could be your rotor has come undone just needs refitting with is screw , Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
