This watch is a simple time only movement...and brand new. Not sure what could go south so fast, but a crunchy sound is concerning nonetheless, no?
Correct, but a manual time only watch has no 'clutch'. And the clicking noise he is referring to could just be the mainspring slipping in the barrel when fully wound, or the click from the ratchet wheel. I suspect there is nothing wrong with the watch.
