This may sound stupid but when i shake my wrist and listen to my Chronomat close to my ear it make a weird vibrating sound? as if something is spinning really fast then it slows and the sound goes away?
What is this sound????

i will never forget that sound..sometimes in a quiet room ill put it to my ear..and listen to the zips and whirs of the valjoux 7750 ..

ill never forget getting into a fight and putting the watch to my ear thats when i first took notice of it...and all these great guys on this site said not to worry!

put it under your pillow but keep it on your wrist, you can hear it really well...

thanks
nick

My CSO & Evo make this sound. I love it!!! I remember the first time i heard it, I jarred my wrist and my hand started shaking, then I put it to my ear and thought it was the coolest sound. It put me at ease with the $3k i just dropped on the CSO (my first ling). Now I listen to it at night and fall asleep to it.

Dont all Automatic watches make that sound? My CSO sure does. I always have to remember that I look stupid if I shake my wrist and put it up to my ear in public :mrgreen:

Yes, but some are louder than others and the 7750 is well known to be noiser than most.

I can hear and feel it while wearing my Chronomat but not while wearing the Seawolf. Perhaps because the seawolf has a thicker, heavier case?!?

Well I won't say that I am exited about all the noises my new Colt GMT makes, but at least I feel at ease knowing that it is completely normal. I am glad I found this site because I was about to ship this baby off to be checked. I listen to the damn thing all the time. Thanks
