My Breitling Chrono A13352 came in the mail. I opened the watch, and everything was fine. I shook it side to side to charge it. It started working like normal. I did notice that the ballast inside was a little noisy. The ballast seemed to spin more revolutions than a watch with a fresh spring. Is that common with a worn spring?
This watch was sold new in 2001. It's not the end of the world, but my watches are going to work properly. I've emailed the seller. I'm just thinking of what it should be causing the loose ballast, and added noise when spinning. My $500 Tutima, and $400 Oris sound better than this.
I'm just curious to know what the watchmakers think the problem may be.
Thanks!

No watchmaker here but some movement rotors are more noisy than others, sometimes just a bit of lubrication does the job. Bring it to an AD and let their watchsmith have a look its your best option imo.

Thanks! The seller thinks It's just that model, but I think it might need a little TLC

I can hear my Super Avenger rotor spinning AND it can SEE the entire watch moving when the rotor is spinning...

You probably have some fake POS movement inside and when you open it you are going to be surprised.

My Breitling is noisy as well. Has been since the day I bought it brand new.

It's 7750 based. They are like that. My Navi World and PAM 88 are 7750 based as well and I kinda love that wobble
