New Seadweller 43/50/whatever you want to call it
I really like it.
My only criticism is the bracelet is squeaky. Weird but true but I am sure that this should be an easy fix |

Squeaky bracelet is because of the tight tolerances between the links and link screws and no lubricant; I actually like it. A sign of precise machining.

Unfortunately the squeak will go away and then you will miss it. Enjoy it while it lasts.

Thanks guys
I haven't even taken the plastics off yet First impressions Great watch IMHO much better than the DeepSea in terms of fit. Not top heavy at all. I find that the bracelet finish is sharp and cuts into my wrist. With micro adjustment I am sure that this will go away. The big question is which is my favourite batman or this beast....surprisingly my initial impression is that Batman is one hell of a watch not better than this but different. Let's give it a couple of days. That said the seadweller feels much tougher than batman. Just my 2 cents |

I had the same squeak issue with mine . I identified exactly where it was coming from and washed area with warm but not hot water and hand soap for a few minutes two days running and now gone . Don't worry completely normal

Congrats!
And yeah, my Sub squeaked when it was brand new. Now after a month of daily wear the squeak is gone...so just wear it and it'll go away on its own. |

Congrats...if you want the squeak to go away, give it a wash in warm, soapy water.
Beautiful watch!

Beautiful watch, looks nicely balanced for a bigger case. Hopefully Rolex will follow this with more balanced cases on the rest of their 6 digit models in the upcoming years.

Send me the watch and I'll get that squeak out. You'll get the watch back in a year sans squeak.
