Great video! I just bought my first automatic, a Seiko with the 4r36 bidirectional movement. I noticed that the rotor makes a sublte bearing/zippery sound when it spins, like very fast clicks. Is it normal?

Thank you !

Great video, brother!

Is there any specific reason that the weight is designed like that? More specifically, is the center of mass being towards the outer layer the most responsive?

[@nirvira5831]

What is name of that watch?

Thanks for your question! The first watch is a Hamilton Khaki housing an ETA 2824-2 (ball oscillating weight bearing). The second watch is a vintage Candino from the early 1970s housing an ETA 2772 (plain oscillating weight bearing).
