So my bracelet on my Milgauss has been squeeky ever since I got it over the summer. Took it back to Tour(poopy service

)nuea and they basically blew me off.

I took a few min last night and figured out which link was causing the problem. Then took some wd-40 and sprayed it on a napkin. Then took the napkin and delicatly got some wd-40 to the needed link. Presto, the squeeking is gone. I would not suggest direct spraying the watch....spray a piece of paper or cloth and the just put on a small amount. Hope this helps others!

Or give the bracelet a bath with warm water and soap.. That should fix it too.

Funnily enough, I was just talking about this very thing with my friend Shandy yesterday. He was trying on my Milgauss, and I mentioned the squeek that the bracelet had when I first got it. I have a different take: I miss the squeek! To me, it was a squeek of quality, like a good pair of quality leather shoes breaking in. Mine went away after a couple of weeks, but I thought that it gave the watch a bit more personality.
Cheers,
Carl

Intersting, is the squeeking normal? And is it ok to leave the squeeking bracelet as it is without cleaning or trying to solve it?

Yes and yes!
Give it a couple of weeks of wearing it and the squeak will be gone.

WD-40 will attract dirt and grim.

Try Veraet it will take care of the squeek.

Liverpool4win · 14 August 2012, 09:13 AM

I had that problem when I got mine as well, but the squeak went away after a month.

+1. I think it's a fairly common occurrence on new Rolexes.

Try a drop of baby oil on the squeaky one and then wash it off. No stinky chemical smell of WD 40

It worked for 2 of my bracelets.

water and soap only works for a few seconds. My jeweler tried to clean it several times in the Ultrasonic cleaner and didn't work.

Put baby oil in a bowl, then place a wire hanger on top of the bowl
hang the watch on the hanger, dip just the bracelet in the bowl with oil
for 20 mins, remove the watch and wash it with dish soap and water, bracelet
should look and feel like butter!!

perpetualman88 · 14 August 2012, 04:40 PM

I would suggest not using WD40

Feras · 14 August 2012, 04:43 PM

Wow, amazing all the solutions given by you guys. Thanx all for contributing.

No oil of any kind; it will attract dirt and accelerate wear (i.e. "stretch").

Seems Mr. Bill's have the best answer : Veraet.
