I've worn my new 126600 daily since I got it A little over 3 weeks ago. I have noticed that the rotor noise inside is different/louder than any Rolex that I've owned before.
I know that the Calibre 3235 has 90% new parts so one would expect a different feel to the movement but in my years of collecting Rolex a noisy rotor meant time for service and this watch is factory fresh.
Also this watch is running -4 sec/day; I know it's supposed to be +/-2 but I figured in may settle in possible with more wear.
Has anybody else noticed this noise compared to the previous series of movements?
Thanks for responses.
