When I woke up this morning, I put on my B01, I like to wear my B01 abit loose on the wrist anyway, the watch case slipped slight down the side of my wrist, as it slipped, I heard my B01 make a sound which I have never heard it do before.

The noise was like a zipper - like a creeking noise almost like a spinning wheel that lasted for about 1 second, in terms of noise, it was an elongated sound, and a bit disconcerting, when the watch is still on my wrist, the watch just ticks along as normal, but when the watch case moves it makes this creeking sound, as though something is almnost loose, can anyone give an innitial indication about this noise?

The watch is keeping good time and not missing the a beat, but this zipping sound as I said is abit disconcerting.

It's just the winding rotor spinning. The B01 is a little less noisy than the 7750 base used in the B13 but it's still audible. All perfectly normal.

SA did the same. I found it rather pleasant (but in a 'huh, see the game last night' guy sort of way!)
