Am I the only one who likes the cal 324 rotor noise?
Recently picked up an aquanaut while Waiting for the nautilus and noticed the zipping sound of the rotor.It kind of reminds me of the 7750 movements where you can feel the rotor spinning.

I guess the 5711 has it too, as it shares the same movement?Some pics of the 5167': (as I know you guys like pics)
