Does Anyone Ever Hear Their Navitimer Winding?
I have a Navitimer that is about 2 years old, and sometimes... quite often, in fact, if I move a certain way, I can hear it winding. The first time I heard it was in a quiet office. I couldn't tell the sound was coming from my watch. A day or so later, I heard it again. All of a sudden I figured it out -- THAT SOUND IS MY WATCH! Now, when I hear it, I often wonder, Do other people hear my watch winding? It's not the kind of sound you have to press your ear against the watch to hear.Does anyone else experience this? Is something wrong?Thanks!

VERSUS: Rolex Submariner and Sea-Dweller 16610LV and 126600
Second edition of the VERSUS post/picture (first one - VERSUS: Submariner 1680 v. 16610). Thought it would be fun to compare two watches (and only those two watches) and discuss pros/cons by outlining the differences and getting folks' ideas/thoughts/opinions on TRF. We got folks collecting and studying these things for decades to those who are just starting to venture into the crazy world of Rolex and everything in between. So I think it would be fun and educational!For this edition, it is a 50th Anniversary Duel. We have the Submariner's 50th anniversary with the 16610LV (I know, I know, it's not the 'real' 50th as it's not a flat-4 insert but c'mon) and the 50th anniversary Sea-Dweller 126600.Some obvious things:40mm case v. 43mmCeramic bezel v. metalWhich do you prefer and why?
