All, maybe I am just being paranoid about my new watch, but recently I have been hearing a very subtle (but still audible) squeaking noise coming from my watch when my arms moves significantly. I realize that it is self winding, but is louder than the noise that I was hearing initially. Has anyone else experienced this? It seems like that is all I can hear now when I'm moving my arm around.

Thanks

The Bentley GT has the calibre 13 movement in it which is basically a tweaked Valjoux 7750, and the 7750 is renowned for being a slightly noisy winder! :) Just think of it as your watch "breathing" and it's heart beating and you'll grow to love it! :D

Indeed. It's just telling you it's still alive!
