Yup, that’s what mine sounds like too. It’s very obvious to me. How did you post that? I may be able to record mine in a quieter environment.
Nice to hear I'm not alone!
I recorded mine using a desktop condenser microphone and a music software, nothing out of the ordinary.
Was your Speedy doing this sound since the beginning?
Hey Canuck!
So you would say the sound at the end is perfectly fine?
My speedy started making the sound about 8 months after I bought it brand new from an AD here, who ordered it in from swatch Canada.
I meant the website you used. I am able to record audio/video but couldn’t figure out how to post a video here.
I’m still convinced what you are hearing is rubbing against the internal gasket in the crown. You are worrying way too much about this. If you can wind the watch and it has its full power reserve, all chrono functions work, and it maintains a reasonable daily rate (remember, a Speedy Pro is not a chronometer), you have nothing to worry about.
You’ve had a local watchmaker who handled the watch tell you there is no problem, you’ve had Archer here tell you he can’t hear the issue you are describing. I’m sure if you send it back to Omega they will tell you it is fine.
Just enjoy your watch and stop obsessing about something being wrong with it!
This thread reminds me of an old "Car Talk" episode. Don't know if those aired in Canada.
Two brothers had a show on public radio where people called in to ask car-related questions, often asking for diagnoses of mechanical problems, including sound effects. Then the brothers would try to guess the problem and give advice. The funny thing is that there was rarely any follow up so you never learned if they got it right. Probably sounds boring, but it was actually very entertaining and never got old. The brothers were totally self-deprecating, and had a great rapport with each other and with the callers. It aired for decades, but they finally retired several years ago.
Hey all, an update on this topic:
this morning I went to a watchmaker here in Berlin, official Omega watchmaker level 3 (do somebody know what does levels mean and how many of them there are?)
He said that this just means you cannot turn the crown anymore - that much I guessed myself 😀 - and that the behaviour is perfectly normal.
So I'm definitely stopping inquiring on the matter. If somebody has more updates I'd gladly hear them.
Have a good day and stay safe!
Funny, sounds like the same conclusions reached by many in this thread...glad you have finally found someone you trust to give you the same answer.
In any case, do you have some insight in what actually are those Omega service levels (other brands seem to have them as well) and how many levels there are actually?
There are 6 skill levels for Omega watchmakers. 3 levels for Omega service providers (shops).
It's unclear what type of certification you are referring to...
