Brand new watch from puretime —>Planet Ocean Master Chronometer OMF SS Black/Orange Sandblasted Bezel Gray Dial on SS Bracelet (Black Balance Wheel)

problem is everytime the watch is shook. Or I shake my wrist while wearing it, it makes noise like the parts are moving around lol.but watch works fine

is this a common problem with reps?im assuming something has to be tightened?

Yes it is... maybe you are hearing the rotor spinning... yes, rotors in reps often are more noisy than in gens... a watchsmith can mitigate it.

I have a few reps bought in the sales section here with no problem. This is 1st encounter. Only noisy when shook

With a good pair of screwdrivers and tweezers you can do this yourself :) I use moebius 9010, or whatever you fancy but I’d avoid silicone grease which seems to get recommended sometimes. I’m new to the rep world but have serviced plenty of watches and have found this issue of a noisy rotor before.
