    Hi all,

    I recently bought my first IWC, a Yacht Club and now I think that the movement is making more noise then 2 weeks ago?!

    It's the automatic winder part I think, anyone owning a YC can confirm that the movement makes quite a bit of noise?

    Thanks.

    Hello

    I bought a Ingenieur Chrono Racer, which has almost the same movement as your watch.
    in the first to weeks my watch stopped two times, albeit i wore the watch 24/7. after two weeks i had the feeling that the rotor was turning more easely and a ratcheting sound was hearable everytime i looked at my watch. since the the watch never stopped again.

    So if the sounds are kind of an ratcheting sound everything should be fine.

    regards Phil

    My Yacht Club has not been making any significantly noticeable sound but I have another watch that made a clicking sound when the rotor spun. It may be the rotor knocking against the inside back of the watch case. It is also a display back and you an see that the rotor is positioned quite close so I am not 100% certain.
