(Automatic Watch) Clicking Sound

[InsaneChen]

Dear All,

I found that my watch has clicking sound each time the Oscillating Weight turn a round. Is this normal?

 

Thanks & Regards

What watch is that bro?

It's not normal unless you could have mistaken it for a whirring sound, then it could be normal for an ETA movement.

Hi Bro Mike,

Is a Ball Marvelight.
I can hear the whirring sound but after it turn 1 round i can hear the clicking. like someone cutting the finger nail.

I have watches that have similar movements but neither of them have that clicking sound. Perhaps it's best to bring it back to the shop to have them check it out. You might want to put it aside first or bring it quickly because you wouldn't want any potential damage to the parts it there.

alright, will go to the shop and ask the sifu there

If its under warranty, bring back to shop or better still directly bring back to the Service Center.

Clicking noise means one of the springs dislocated usually. Have to get it fixed fast, and in the meantime don't wear it anymore.

The more you wear it, the worse the damage.

it might be normal, not sure how to tell, best to get it compare with friend watch or shop see if u get similar sound, or get a friend who had more experience. if watch is with warranty u may bring it back to check, dont attempt any 3rd party shop before you could confirm if its normal to avoid get "chop"

just my 2 cent

Dear all sifu,

I just send it to Menara Stand chart for checking. I suspect they dont even open up the watch and inspect because they return the watch to me in about 1 minute. They claim that the watch is ok and it is normal to have that sound ....

After few days, I realize my watch now is about 10min faster and the clicking sound is louder.
