You went 5 years+ so you are close to needing a routine service anyway so it’s not like this happened the first month of ownership.

In my life I avoid constantly problems, about everything, maybe, I m obsessed with to avoid problems.

My personality is eccentric because I have good work and family, but I don t spend money on clothes, cars, luxury goods, etc.....the only thing was this watch.

It’s the rotor axle. Easy fix, but you should go ahead and do a COA on the movement.

In life, i have found it's best to avoid problems by not leaving myself exposed to them.

In my personal experience services are required at about the 5 year mark for my Automatic wind watches. This has been the case for over 40 odd years regardless of brand of watch when worn for the bulk of the day every day.
So it's all normal for me.

Avoid any further exposure to problems and get a Quartz watch of some description.
Clearly your usage patterns are part of the problem.
Alternately you could minimise the amount you wear the watch.

One other thing.
If you don't get it repaired soon, it will cost you much more to repair if you continue to wear it.

Must be an acronym for a movement service. FWIW no RSC will just repair a rotor axle without a complete movement teardown. The metal to metal grinding releases "brake dust" particles into the lubricants and gears which is not good.

Clean Oil Adjust...it’s just a basic movement service. In your case, they should replace the rotor axle as well. My 16610 exhibited the same symptoms as what was described (vibration when shaken vertically, occasional whirring of the rotor). It’s an inexpensive part.

Thanks for sharing your opinion, I dont wear it more.
