AndreasK Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 Does anyone else have an issue with a noisy rotor on their Chopard Mile Miglia GTXXL Chrono Limited Ed SS Grey? I know this was an issue on some of the less expensive Mile Miglia GMT's but has anyone else had this issue? This is one of my favorite and most accurate reps, but feels cheap when I hear the rotor spinning. I would love to have The Zigmeister service it, but I'm not on "the list" so I don't know who to send it to. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

MAHLER Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 The noise of the rotor is common to many replicas, open the caseback unscrew the rotor and passes a small amount of silicon grease. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toadtorrent Posted October 15, 2008 Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 Hi, Check here: Noisy Rotor Others with way more watchmaking experience than I'll ever have have also stated grease is not so good as it adds too much resistance to the rotor: Power Reserve and Loud Rotor on A7750 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAHLER Posted October 15, 2008 Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 The noise of the rotor is common to many replicas, open the caseback unscrew the rotor and passes a small amount of silicon grease. I do not use oil lubricant on the rotor, but simple silicone grease, the better to seal the caseback. A very small quantity on the rotor and the problem is resolved.

AndreasK Posted October 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 I was looking at KT-22 from ofrei. Any other suggestions? And for a noob when it comes to taking the rotor off any suggestions? I do not use oil lubricant on the rotor, but simple silicone grease, the better to seal the caseback. A very small quantity on the rotor and the problem is resolved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
