Bracelet Squeaking
Wondering if any Forum member has experienced squeaking on their bracelet. The bracelet of the 114060 that I purchased from an AD last week squeaking and it is starting to become a pain. It is only one part of the bracelet and the other areas are fine.
My initial thought is to take it back to the AD, but wanted to know if this type of thing will eventually go away. This problem has never happened on the other Rolex watches I own. |

Perfectly normal. My 116600 is happily squeaking. It'll disappear all to soon. Attribute it to tight manufacturing tolerances.

Like the sweet smell of a brand new car that will fade.

It is the sound of a brand new watch. My Hulk did it too. No worry.

I had a single link on my GV that liked to squeak but it does not do it much anymore.
All good with a little time. |

Thanks for all of your replies. I will leave it alone. It was just odd for me as none of my other new watches ever squeaked. It is just one link for me.

Means your watch is new. Will disappear in about 10 days orso. When it's gone, it means your watch is old and you need a new one  I know it can be annoying but don't try to do anything about it. Enjoy your watch

My Hulk squeaked for ages. I was concerned too until I checked it out on here. It really is the best place to find info and have your questions answered.

The squeak should stop in time.
The bracelet needs a breaking in period, wear it and give it a chance to loosen up a bit and it will be fine. I don't think there is a need to take it back to the AD Just enjoy my friend

I love that new watch strap squeak. Mine has long since worn off, sadly. Does that mean I need to source another one?
