Hello! So I finally purchased my first rep, Rolex GMT Master II Noob v8 from puretime. One thing that was noticeable was how loud the rotor was. I took the case backing off and notice the slop. Is this normal on this movement? It looks like the tolerance on the bearings is whats causing this.

Look like you have a defective rotor bearing or it came loose from the bearing. The rotor bearing is friction fit onto the rotor. Try to tighten the rotor screw first.

You might have to replace the rotor bearing or the complete rotor assembly.

Bummer. I did try tightening the rotor screw and didn't make a difference. From what I'm reading, I can use gen eta 2836 parts on this, correct? Also, any recommendations where to pick up the parts, gen or not located in CONUS?

Thanks!
