A few years back I purchased an EWC when they first came out.  I had/noticed the exact same issue you are speaking about.  I tood the watch back to the Ad and they sent it back to JLC to be checked.  I received the watch back and they said there was nothing wrong with the watch.."this is the way it was".  I lived with it for a while and it still annoyed me so I returned it to the AD for a full refund.  It left a bad taste in my mouth for JLC and stayed away from the beand for quite a while......................Until about a year ago, I couldn't resist the JLC Navy Seals Chrono.  No noise, no nothing! just a killer watch.  The best all around sports watch I have ever had.  Had Daytona, Subs, AP's, VC, Pnaerai etc.....and I just can't stop wearing this watch. Now I am down to two...This and a PAM 372.  To get abck to the discussion though, I experienced the exact same thing and felt for the money, it should not be that way.  Beautiful watch, unacceptable "rattle" noise whatever it is.

Best of luck and have a nice weekend.

so i sent my ewc in because it had a rattle. it came back from service and still has the rattle. so one possibility arises: is a rattle normal in your experience, those of you who have an ewc? i never experienced any defect in terms of performance or func... 

I think it is the noise of the rotor, my friend. Which is characteristic to

Modern JLC Automatic watches. Try to hear a TT Polaris, it is the same noise ( from what you described ). Best, Nicolas

thanks, my suspicion too

merci, nicolas. it was my suspicion, but i had initially ruled it out as an explanation because i figured the ewc casing would make the mere rotor spin nearly inaudible. and then, compared to a go rotor, for example, it just didn't sound as substantial. b... 

Yes, go to an AD and try all the JLC Auto watches

Well, a few of them, to not breake the AD's nerves. You will see, it sounds like you described it. Let us know! Best, Nicolas

Completely normal, I had two EWC's and my current one has been overhauled twice. The rattle has been present since day one.

Had two, on your third, and overhauled twice? I don't understand, the watch hasn't been out that long and you have had your THIRD one serviced twice?

The first EWC were shipped late 2005, so they have been out for a little over 6 years now. Had on of the first EWC's made in 2005, it had an issue with alignment of the world time ring. That watch was swapped out after 3 weeks of ownership for a new one b...
