·When you say loud, do you mean you can hear it even if you’re not holding the watch to your ear?

·Same watch, 4 years almost 24/7 not noticed any change in volume but then I don’t take it off to listen to it.
Maybe you should go to a store and compare with a new one?

·If it’s that loud, that seems unusual. I’d send it in for a warranty service.

·I can hear mine on my wrist. Been that way since day 1. Pretty sure it's normal. I think there have been threads about how loud they are. Doesn't bother me.

·To me the concern is that the OP says it’s changed, and significantly. If it were a since-day-1 thing, I’d be inclined not to think it’s an issue.

·Those movements make noise. Mine does too. Even the 7750 makes less noise. A bit of a disappointment to be honest

This is not a daily. I wasn’t sure if this was a normal break-in issue where after several months, the rotor becomes louder as it wears in.
I am keeping track on watch tracker and so far it hasn’t affected accuracy. The noise isn’t grinding necessarily, just different from what I remember.

·That doesn't sound normal to me. I checked my SMP Diver 300 with a 8800 movement and it's super quiet. I can barely hear the movement ticking even holding it next to my ear.

·I believe the OP is discussing the noise from the rotor weight not the ticking 👍 But perhaps, maybe I have misunderstood this thread.
When I first read this, I was inclined to believe it was the ceramic bearings as it has been discussed those are louder than previous generation movements.
Ohhhh. My mistake. I read it but my mind went somewhere else. The rotor is also very quiet on mines.

·Timed Seamaster last couple days and it measured +.5 sec/day.
Think I’m gonna just let it go with the issue till service time. Seems to be working fine for now.
