Just got this Omega Geneve Dynamic ref 160.039 manual wind watch for a pretty decent price (under $300). It rattles noticeably in the case, is that normal?

If something is loose, something is wrong. Better have it checked out.

Definitely. The movement moves slightly in the case when turned up and down even gently. It bangs against the case wall inside.

Could be an incorrect crystal. Could be an incorrectly fitted movement. Could be a missing movement retainer ring.

It needs to be taken to a watchmaker, preferably before you wear it again.

Thanks for the response- my watch guy said it was damaged when someone tried to open it. See the photos.
