• Quick question for the professionals... that Cronel Jet-King has a very strange ticking sound. Every other watch I've listened to has a tick-tick-tick-tick, very sharp and normal sound. This one has an incredibly hollow tong-tong-tong-tong. It's almost like the tick is hitting against a cowbell or something.

    Any clues as to why?

    It is keeping time fine, maybe +20 seconds in 24 hours which is tolerable for a late 60's early 70's unserviced Swiss movement.

  • Can be caused by a number of things but two of my watches have that sound as a result of the second hand resonating as it ticks.

  • I kind of like it as a quirk, so long as it is not a symptom of a fault. Certainly sounds like resonating/vibration.
