Does my rotor sound normal?

Hi! I apologize for creating another topic, but I think it's another question and it's okay to make another topic. I would like to ask an opinion about the sound of the rotor of my watch, which has just been serviced at RSC, if it sounds normal. Cal 3035. https://youtube.com/shorts/MudugdVaI2c?feature=share

If that is indeed the rotor and not the bracelet rattling then no that’s not normal and the rotor axel is worn and needs replacement.

The watch was serviced a month ago at RSC. If there was something wrong with the rotor, I guess the people from RSC would have told me? I can't really figure out for sure if it was the bracelet or the rotor, I held the bracelet as long as I could.

Remove the bracelet and try again. I can’t image RSC missing a worn rotor axel, it’s a very common issue.

^^^
This

What I hear is bracelet rattle.

And RSC would have recommended the rotor assembly replacement if there was any wobble on the axle.

I remade 3 more videos, in both of them I held onto the bracelet as much as I could. Any thoughts now?

Thank you very much for the help, but also for the negativity! I preferred to ask because the nearest RSC is 100 km from me, and I wouldn't want to go there for nothing, and the rotor would have nothing.

Negativity? I think I'm entitled to a hint of negativity after my wife catches me watching your youtube clip!!

"What are you watching" she askes. As I start to explain, her smile turns into a giggle that develops into full blown uncontrollable laughing fit and it doesn't end there. Later, having drinks with friends I become the laughing stock once again as my wife takes serious pleasure in showing your clip and explaining that this is what I spend my time watching when I'm home alone... needless to say more laughter, luckily I enjoy a good laugh with mates and judging by the response that's not the last time my wife is going show that clip so you can expect it to go viral

Any, and I mean any watchsmith can diagnose your (watch-related) problem
