Senator excellence rattling sound?
May 25, 2021,07:48 AM
Hi guys
I just bought a brand new senator excellence from an AD, I have noticed a rattling sound when I tap on the watch and I found some thread from 2017 and in that thread there are videos that shows the rattlesnake sound, want to check if this is normal to caliber 36?
Thanks
Steven

Thank you for telling a little about yourself. It is nice to hear that you found your way to Glashütte watchmaking Interesting that you mention IWC. I do own an old R810 where the rotor hits the caseback when you tip onto it with the finger. It is normal ...
