Hi everyone,
After lurking the forum for months, I caught the rep bug. I got 5 reps this month :wacko: , and they have been 'hit or miss'. All my reps have 12j movements, four are keeping time within +/-8s. One is -11mins a day.
All of them are loud when winding! If its within a foot of me in a relatively quiet environment, like the car or bedroom, I can hear the winding noise when I move my arm. Sounds like a ratchet wrench. I've tried to oil it, but the sound is still the same.
I have a few gen wiss ETA movements - Zodiac, Movado, Accutron - none of them make this sound. So I was wondering if this is noise is the same with all asian movements? Are the ETA clones or the 4813 just as loud? This ratchet noise makes the watch feel so cheap. If there is a quiet movement out there in the rep world, I would gladly shell out some extra cash for it.
