That’s a beautiful sound! It means your watch is brand spanking new!

It seems that more recently there was a batch of watches that contained sub-standard 904L steel on certain brushed Sub bracelets and this is a bi-product of that.

Can you elaborate please?

There was a problem in the foundry. The purity of the steel wasn’t at its usual mix and created a lower grade metal that was used on a batch that was manufactured last year.

Yes they are. Rolex have sent out a bulletin to all AD’s who sold watches within the batch to contact the buyers, and then those respective customers will be invited to return to any RSC.

Those bracelets will then be replaced with a choice of either a nato, or a rubber strap only.
