first AP- question?

Hey Guys, very excited about my first AP, wasnt expecting this to happen because APs are so hard to get. I live in Kansas City and have nowhere to try and see them or buy them. I bought a Zeitwerk shortly after buying a Lange 1 and about a week after I got the Zeitwerk it had to go back for a new dial and that was almost 5 months ago. I told the sales guy I wanted a "loaner" after spending that kind of money and not having anything and he said he would send me a new kermit but I have so many rolexes i said send me anything but a rolex. I was so suprised and excited when a royal oak offshore showed up. I was thinking about buying it and I was in Aspen for Christmas (where I bought the other watches) and immediately went to see what they had. They had an amazing inventory, and I was in between the green aquanaut chrono (they wanted $208K!) or this AP Perp. I bought the Perp and am so excited about it.

I do have a question, I was away from the watch for about a week and when I got back to it over the weekend I started noticing a noise from the 'weight' on the back of the watch. I can really hear it move around. I dont remember hearing it before and its sort of bothering me. I called AP this morning and he said theyre all hand made and can be different, I'm curious if any other owners know what I'm talking about? For example, when i put the watch up to my ear and shake my wrist, it almost sounds like something is loose. I know its just the weight moving back and forth, but should I be able to hear that?

Thx,
Brian

PS- I'm having trouble uploading pictures, what am I doing wrong- keeps saying files are too big?
