Sometimes when i move my hand I can hear a noise like a winding noise, is that the rotor spinning? is it normal?

archer75 · 25 March 2016, 03:29 PM

Yes, it is and very normal.

subtona · 25 March 2016, 03:31 PM

lapince · 25 March 2016, 03:45 PM

I´d only be worried when your 5167 stops making these sounds.

Gus, I had never noticed that your avatar is animated until last week, it's freaking me out a bit!

mps354 · 26 March 2016, 01:58 AM

Normal, unfortunately

im technologically challenged, i somehow figured out how to make it move but couldn't for the life of me figure out how to loop it continuously …

i don't think i could do it again if i tried

Abdullasaif · 27 March 2016, 12:05 AM

Yup its normal

ap1 · 27 March 2016, 02:51 AM

I'm kinda addicted to that noise

uri40 · 27 March 2016, 04:39 AM

thanks

eco8gator · 27 March 2016, 09:59 AM

I was startled the first time I heard it as well...I thought I broke something but I read up and found that the buzz is normal.

Tan · 27 March 2016, 11:21 PM

Yes, and it happens on the 5711 as well. 324 movement.

sirish19 · 29 March 2016, 04:54 AM

Perfectly normal and I love it. I often find myself spinning it right next to my ear when I need a little pick-me-up. I also find that it makes the winding mechanism of my Rolex and AP a bit crude and brutish, haha.

beer · 29 March 2016, 08:03 AM

how loud is it, out of curiosity?

do you need to be in a silent room/in bed etc? or could it be heard by for instance someone sitting next to you at a meeting?

If you are listening for it you can hear it. Someone sitting next to you might hear it if the room was quiet. It's subtle, but once you notice it you start picking up on it more often.

I just bought a 5167 last week. I find myself lifting it up to my ear throughout the day to hear the sound. I love it.

Completely normal.

I've actually come to enjoy the 'whirrr' noise...

stockjock1975 · 25 April 2016, 11:56 AM

As others have said, it's perfectly normal. Unacceptable on a high-end piece from one of the world's top manufacturers (IMO)....but normal nonetheless.
