Re: Seamaster Pro Chrono/automatic winding

In Response To: Re: Seamaster Pro Chrono/automatic winding ()

: Even Rolex autos make noise if you listen closely.

I have a TT Date and a TT SUB/ blu/blu and even I shake them near my ears I could not hear the winding Mechanism,I could hear the ticking sound. I might need a hearing test done. ;-)

I also own a Seamaster 2598.80 and I could hear the "marble in the porcelain bowl" noise.

I believe the movement is based on a Valjoux 7750 movement but refined by Omega, hence the Chronometer status.

Hope this help. Very nice forum, Thanks to Derek.

Regards,
