Did it make that sound before it was serviced?

I have no Idea it was sitting and i didn't bother  listening to it, it run well (-+5-8sec a day)

[AndyGSi]

So have you just bought this and then sent it straight away for a service?

From what I can make out in the video it does sound a little noisier than I'd expect
for something that's just been serviced, obviously depending on what they did?

Where was it serviced and what did they do?

Yes, i bought it and sent it straight for a total service , lubrication etc/ and a crystal change / the noise seems to happen even when shaking it gently , and not when shaking vertically, therefore it could be when the rotor IS engaging ? But i dont know if its normal as sample rotor sound for ETA 2461 IS pretty hard to find

And it was an independant watchmaker where i live

Sounds like the rotor is fouling something. Could be that the rotor bearing is loose which your watchmaker should have picked up on. Alternatively, it might be that your watchmaker swapped some screws and the rotor is fouling on the screw heads (I did that with the case clamp screws on an ETA 2472, so I know it's possible). In either case, you don't want the rotor scraping against anything and potentially shedding metal shards into the movement.

I'd suggest going back to your watchmaker and asking him/her to take another look.

I acquired a Bulova a few years ago that ran well but the automatic winding wasn't working properly and it made noises not unlike yours. I would hear and feel it click as I walked. I took it to a local watchmaker and the young man in the store took the back off and made a few vague comments about the rotor being loose or something. While I was still there his father, the actual watchmaker, arrived, looked at the watch for a few seconds and identified it as having a broken rotor axle. You wouldn't expect something like that could be missed in a full service, though.

On the other hand, I haven't been doing this hobby for very long and I've already seen some horrible work that people have paid money for. Most commonly this has been watches drowning in oil, but I've also had someone tell me they were told that their favourite quartz watch would cost more to repair than it was worth when all it needed was a readily available $30 replacement movement. My conclusion is that not everyone who calls themselves a 'watchmaker' can be trusted to do more than seals, batteries and bands. I hope that's not the case with yours.

Concur with fellerts.

Do the following tests to turn the rotor.

1- Face up,  horizontal, circulra motion.

2- Face down, horizontal,  circular motion.

3- Vertically , slow  circular motion , dial center as  axis of motion. 

3-Manual wind in face down position.

4-In case it clicks when manually wound, count the number of crown turns, for two successive click.

 No need to broadcast the actual sound, just tell which of the above positions you hear the click.
