Hows your tick??? :)

I just noticed something a few days ago for the first time.
Even though my SUB and my YM have the exact same movement...the ticking on the SUB is alot stronger! I can hear it distinctly even by bringing my hand close to my ear.With the YM I have to almost have it against my ear to hear the "tick tick tick"

Go figure.......

The YM and SD are almost silent and the Sub (5513) is loud, for a Rolex anyway. Now I know this is a different movement but it is still strange to me.

Perhaps you should wash your ears out.
