AMVOX3 Rotor/Winding Noise Question
Greetings,
I am toying with the idea of ordering an AMVOX3 but had a question regarding the rotor noise. I was wondering if any of you have had the chance to wear or at least play with one and noticed the level of rotor or winding noise? I have a Master Tourbillon and am not overly thrilled with the loud winding noise it makes while on the wrist (probably why I often prefer a manual wind). It just does not seem to fit with the elegance of the watch. I hardly notice any noise in the AMVOX2 but seeing that the tourbillon in the 3 is similar to that of the Master Tourbillon I didn't know if the noise would be comparable or if the Extreme Lab rotor would make a difference (for better or worse). My 68 Polaris tribute is very noisy but it seems to fit better with the character of the watch and doesn't bother me at all. I thank you in advance for any help.
Best,
Dave
I'm more than toying with the same idea, I'm suffering! :)))

As for your question, I hold one last week, in Paris, for a few minutes, and I didn't notice the noise of the Rotor, but I was not prepared to see one, so I didn't focus on the noise. I saw rhe proto several times, in Paris, London, and Geneva, and wasn't...
Thank you Nicolas...

I have been thinking that a platinum Amvox3 would make the perfect replacement for my RG Master Tourbillon. I do not find myself wearing this piece much anymore as I seldom wear colored gold and since the arrival of the RG Duometre I wear it even less. I ...

I was told that it would be in October, as many other new releases. Congrats, Dave! It was love at first sight when I saw it in January, even a stronger love than the RG one. I must find a solution to get one... Aaargh. Best, nicolas
Rotor noise...

Personally speaking, I like rotor noise - makes the watch seem more "alive" to me. Loud rotor noise seems to be a characteristic of the ceramic ball bearings JLC use in the rotor, so if the Amvox III has them, it is likely to share this trait aswell. What...
