No, depending of how loud, it might be scraping against the case or the plate.

 

weird. I'll try and get a recording. Watch is only a month old.

 

Do you notice the noise when just wearing the watch with normal arm movement? Shaking the watch back and forth will usually induce more noise.

 

A lot of movements are noisy, 7750 especially so, and even vibrate the watch on your wrist when it really gets going.

If the watch is newish it should be fine, but if it bugs you get it checked out under warranty.

 

noise vertical fine horizontal bad should be no play up and down by the rotor

 

i just tried a few of mine, and they do make a slight noise with the dial facing you and moving it away and toward me. Not saying it's good or bad, just relaying the info

 

I've own various automatics and the only one with rotor noise is a Baltic Aquascaphe (Miyota movement). It was quite loud when it was brand new but seems to have quieted down lately, so maybe it just needed time for the lube to fully settle? No issues with the watch otherwise.

 

Yep, this sounds familiar. The Miyota movement in my Timefactors Everest is quite noisy as well. Accordingly to "the internet" this is common for the 90XX family of movements and the watch keeps good time so I've never investigated further. Perhaps a mistake on my part.I assume it's rotor noise but can feel it a bit as well as hear it.

 

The ball bearing, even when new, will have some play in it. So some movement is expected, but it’s not normally something you would notice.

Since the rotor in this watch is held by one screw, it’s possible that it could be loose. It’s also possible that this is just the normal play...only way to find out is to have someone check it.

 

I’ve got quite a few SW200s and none of them are noisy so I’d have it looked at for your peace of mind, if nothing else.

 

Yes they do, but it being noticeable depends on the model and its functional state (a damaged rotor could become noisier after a shock for example. On others, the rotor noise isn't supposed to be heard while on the wrist, as your arm dampens it and its design might make it quieter to begin with.

Some examples here :

 

Most of my watches are autos. I'd rate them from Tudor, is this thing spinning? No noise whatsoever.
To Certina, glance at the sky, sure there's an Apache doing circuits up there somewhere!
All autos have their own little habits. If it really bothers you, take it back and ask the dealer, you're well within warranty. They'll put your mind at ease.
