New member needs help with spring question
I have a 1983 Oyster Perpetual Date, and lately I have felt and heard a weird spring action in the watch. I have had it for 2 years, and its been running for much of that time. What could be this springing feeling and noise, and why?
Thanks |

Sounds like it could be a rotor axle.

Thanks y'all, at least I don't have to send it off to their facility, here in Savannah we have a certified Rolex technician at one of the jewelry stores.
