NOOB Daytona 4130 - Rotor Sound

[tmp2018]

...still pretty loud compared to other rlx reps? not as loud as the v1 arf rotor and not as loud as some miyota watches, but...i can hear it "very well". is this normal? what is your experience? thanks.

I was reading a cool article on RepGeek from Tickleshoes (dont know if Im allowed to link it here) that said the movement is awesome, but like most Chinese reps they are not very well lubricated and there was even some signs of a bit of rust and crud in there.

The solution is to get it serviced. I am waiting on Spongebob to get his platinum process working for Daytona and then send the new bezels off with my Noob daytonas to be serviced.

Mine was quite noticeable too. Not as bad as a 7750, not annoying by any means... But I decided to give the rotor bearing a tiny drop of Moebius oil. Same as I did with my ARF 7750. Now it's pretty silent. Not Gen rolex silent, but quieter than most other movements I have

The rotor on my Noob 4130 is silent... but slight vibration when moving around. More than a gen 3135 movement.

yes, already did the same, but its not as silent as i want it to be... maybe i risk another tiny little drop.

Mine is noisy, my watchsmith lubricated it and it is still there. He told me is the rotor bearing that should be replaced

Mine is silent.....

Mine was noisy as well, noisier than my AP jf v3, so quite noisy, i got it serviced, i can still feel the rotor moving around, but the sound is gone.

My gen 116519 does not make any sound and i can't feel any movement when i shake it tho (not saying that i was expecting the same as the gen).
The rep is still a rep.

i read that its not uncommon because of the ball bearing of the 4130, lot of gen daytonas have that noise too. i remember my zenith also made some "noise" so i accept it.

guru capice01 was it silent ootb or did you lubricate etc.?

Mine is silent on the wrist but if you take it off and shake it like a mad man you will hear a slight sound. Not as loud as arf 7750 and miyota of jf. Doesnt bother on the wrist hence its fine for me.
