Re: Seamaster Crono Diver noise

In Response To: Seamaster Crono Diver noise ()

It sounds like you're talking about the counterweight used for the self winding feature. The sound you describe is normal for any automatic mechnical watch.

: My Seamaster 300M Crono Diver is making a
: distinctive circular ("swishing")
: noise when it's shaken. Is this normal? I
: understand that it's in continual motion but
: this noise is different (like a car engine
: with a bad starter). I took it to a
: watchmaker and I was told this is normal but
: I'm not convinced because the noise gets
: quite loud at times and you can definitely
: FEEL and HEAR the centrifugal motion inside
: the watch. Anyone having the same problem?
