ETA 2824-2 Balance noise

[kuiksilver]

Lads and Ladettes,

I have a SSD and since two days ago, the balance of the ETA 2824-2 started making the "balancing" noise. is it normal?

The watch works fine and everything but it seems that the noise gets louder and louder.

Thanks for your help.

Cheers !

It should be a 2836-2 and I assume you mean the winding rotor on the automatic? I don't think anything can really go wrong with the rotor that wouldn't result in complete failure, so your probably OK. If it really is making more noise one of the screws holding the movement in place might be loose and rubbing against the rotor.

I have absolutely no idea what a 'balancing' noise is, but if the watch is making a scraping sound when you move your arm, then the rotor is either coming into contact with the caseback or some part of the movement. Neither is good & should be looked into.
