I'm a little more than useless

got a Blancpain villeret slim serviced in Germany, it functioned fine for a couple of months but it developed a sound when the rotor moves. I wear it in rotation with a few other watches, and only on football occasions so it didn't get a lot of wrist time after service. I'm very worried. I can't go back to the original service center since I don't live in Germany anymore.

BP wants to replace the entire movement ($650) and they are giving a good deal by throwing in a gen alligator strap. I want to extinguish my options before I let them replace.

The tech experience of this group is great and I'm hoping someone willing to help out.
