: Sometimes after quick wrist movements, I noticed that my watch
: makes a noise like a marble rolling around in a porcelain
: bowl just before it winds. This noise can only be heard
: when I put my watch near my ear. When it is making this
: noise the watch vibrates slightly. Is this normal? Please
: do not knock my simile regarding the porcelain bowl, I
: spent a lot of time and effort coming up with it:)
noel (by the way, my nickname is also "noel"), I know of the "sound" that you speak of. I, too, have a titanium Seamaster Pro Chrono and I hear that exact same sound immediately after rapid wrist movements followed immediately by a ratcheting sound. I thought that my watch was the only one that made those sounds...good to hear I'm not alone!! As far as I know, this is normal...can anyone else concur? My best guess is that it is the rotor making that "marble in a porcelain bowl" noise.
