Hello,
Tried two IWC Mark XV today. When winding using the crown, I noticed there is a significant difference in the sound each watch makes.
That of watch 1 is loud enough to be heard without bringing the watch to the ears, unlike watch 2 and the other watches I own.
Each "click" is also less easy to discern, they seem less spread apart and it sounds more like a cracking sound.
Cosmetic condition of watch 1 is better and that's the one I'm considering at the moment. I just would like to ask what you (and experts if any) think and whether this sound could indicate an underlying mechanical issue.
Both watches were inspected recently (not by an official dealer though) and a time grapher gives +3s/day and 270°-300° amplitude for both.
I suggest using headphones to better hear the difference.

Thank you!
