Sound from Breitling Bentley A13363 Movement

Hello Folks,

I have a Breitling Bentley A13363 and when I tilt the watch from side to side it makes a sound like a tiny ball or screw rolling inside the watch. Anyone ever encounter this with their Bentley's (or Breitlings in general)?

The seller I bought it from says that it's just the movement, but I just wanted to make sure that its not something else. I still have 10 days to return the watch.

Any help will be much appreciated.

Thanks.

Sounds as if the automatic rotor is doing its job.

That model uses a Breitling 13B movement, which is a modified Valjoux 7750. 7750s are notorious for their rotor "wobble," which can be heard as well as felt. Totally normal. Whether it's desirable is up to the wearer. Some people can't stand it, whereas others find it endearing. It's no reason for concern, however.
