The Ruby bearing has only one disadvantage: It needs more height to avoid a tilting of the rotor axle. That is why for a "slim" movement like the Piguets, ETA's and others, normally ball bearings are used... Have a good time |

Um, OK- So why is it that the 'rotor' is so much more audible in the Daytonas? Just tried it out, and in a 1997 Sub I can't hear a thing, but in my Daytona, it's whirring away like it's broken...it was just serviced last year, so is it because of the Chrono movement? Just wondering now.....

The tudor and many ETA bases movements only wind and stores the kinetic energy in one direction.
The winding direction is quieter and the sound lasts much shorter as the energy of spinning rotor is absorbed and stored. The opposite directions which is the non-winding rotation. The rotor will sound like it's spinning fast and for a longer period of time as well. Some watches will "wobble" as the rotor is spinning fast. ![]()

This is correct
This is the answer. The ball bearing assembly in ETA movements is inherently more noisy the the bushing used on Rolex rotors as long as they are not worn out.
The other answer is that you need your hearing checked. I can hear it and feel it, no problem. |

Okay, now I'm nervous, you are not supposed to hear the rotor? I am 19 so I guess my ears are okay, and I hear it the rotor clearly on both my 16610 and 114270. Time for service?

After years of working field jobs around lots of big rotating equipment, I really can't hear for beans! Oh, you mean 'you,' as in yourself. For that...see above, I agree with them!

My 16710 is very faint. I don't notice it on my wrist, but can in hand. Compair it to other brands, and it's night, and day.

Learn something new, I always did think why my Daytona was noisy compared to the YM and other Rolex I've owned.
