    It sounds like the oscillating weight has either come off of its post, or is just about to come off. That "clicking" sounds like the weight impacting with the case back.
    Take it to a watchmaker before it causes expensive damage to the movement.

    Most likely the screw that holds the oscillating weight has come loose. Easy fix, but since this case back is a snap on type, you would need a new case back gasket and a proper press to put the case back on securely again.

    Either send it back, or have them contribute some money towards getting it repaired.

    Cheers, Al

    Demonstrate clearly what the issue is, to the Seller, by sending them the video - Clear evidence of a malfunction in the movement

    Suggest affirmatively, that the watch needs to repaired, either by you, or if returned, by them - Either way they need to foot that cost.

    If you are courteous, & they are professional, then a resolution. one way or another, will be determined swiftly.
