Question for the Cal. 11-12 specialists

Hello all,

I turned my perfect running Autavia Automatic Cal 12 today in an unusual and fast way upside downside (don't ask me why) and there was a kind of click I never noticed before.I assume that this clicking sound comes from the oscillating weight. So this is my question: Is this the usual tolerance of the oscillating weight on its arbor? Or is anything broken? As I mentioned above: The watch is working without any problems, including the automatic winding device. Someone told me some times ago, that the arbor of of the oscillating weight is a weak spot of this movement. Thanks , Martin
