new chrono makes ratcheting sound
Hi all,
I just bought a new Seamaster 300 chrono (2225.80.00) to replace my old Seamaster, and it makes a ratcheting sound as the rotor spins to wind it up. Is this normal? The old one doesn't makes that sound. I didn't buy it from an authorised dealer but from a large New York jeweller; the AD wanted $800 more! I weighed it as soon as I got it and it is 210g which is about right. I'm sure it's not a fake; but if it is, hats off to whoever made it! If anyone has one of these please let me know if yours makes this un$2300 like sound. Thanks
