·Hello,
I've just bought a vintage Omega, Seamaster with 471 movement. I've had it for a day now, and It keeps the time well. However, the rotor sound is quite loud, even when I tap very lightly. It doesn't sound as loud when I don't tap it.
I know the solution is not to tap it, but I want to make sure it is natural. I don't have a problem with it's being loud, as long as I'm not damaging the mechanism somehow.
Here is the video:
Here is the mechanism:
Does the mechanism look alright?
Also one more thing, after it's wind up fully, I can't turn the crown to wind it manually, not sure if it's right way to say it, but the tension is really high. Although I can still hear the rotor turn and wind the mechanism.
Thank you
