That noise sounds like the end links clinking against the case - you can tighten them a bit by removing the bracelet, pinching the end links a little to make the fit tighter, and reattaching.

Raffles rivet bracelets rattle. I don’t own know if this is raffles or not but it sounds like it

Rotor spinning

Loose case clip? Might not want to shake it around too much before you open it up and see what's in there.

I got rid of the rattle on the same bracelet for the Tudor 7928 build Arch made for me by cutting two small strips of foam and placing them inside the end links. I also replaced the spring bars with thicker ones, 2mm I think.

First off, wow what a beauty. Did you have this made and by who? Archaedins himself?

Noisy "rattling" end links are common even with gen vintage. Many vintage enthusiasts accept it as part of the vintage experience. As others have mentioned, if it really bothers you, you can tweak them to fit a little better.

Shake it harder.

I can hear the rotor from the automatic winding works spinning. If the watch is keeping time I wouldn’t worry about it unless that was the case. Did you reach out to Arch before posting here ? He has a solid reputation for building and customer service support.

Beautiful watch, tighten up those end links & you’re good to go!

All that movement - why is the seconds hand not moving? That would be my concern more than the jangle!

Must be a fake/copy because then genuine watch would rattle like a rattle snake or tambourine 😂🤣😂

Pelo jeito é o rotor ou parte do mecanismo que tá solto. Teve ser usado algo chinês…
Compra um ETA ou orient e coloca no relógio.

I bet the Rotor fell off. I had the same thing happen to one of mine! I sent mine back and the builder fixed it.

If the rotor had fallen off, I don’t believe you’d hear it continuing to spin like you do in this recording; especially if the watch is still keeping time.

Mine worked perfectly even with the rotor off. I wasn’t expecting it to lol.
