Hi guys, I've had my BLNR a few weeks now and I've noticed the bracelet will intermittently squeak when I'm repositioning the watch on my wrist. Is this normal? It the braclelet in need of an adjustment? I inspected all areas throughly and nothing is rubbing or causing friction. Any input would be greatly appreciated...Thanks

^ It's normal. It should go away in time. Congrats on your new BLNR. It's a really nice watch.

Completely normal with new pieces; you will soon miss the squeak!

slm9555 · 25 May 2015, 05:12 AM

Enjoy it while it lasts

Many new Rolex watches have that. At first it bothered me. Now, I miss it on my DJ II blue index now. On all of my new Rolex watches, 9 since last NOV, the squeak went away in a few weeks. I have read it described on the forum as like "New car smell."

As someone else said the squeak is "the new car smell of a Rolex". It will be gone soon and you will miss it.

Some folks have to pay extra for that feature.

Try washing it with warm soapy water...squeak gone.

CHRONOLEX · 25 May 2015, 10:28 AM

Congrats on the acquisition!

As someone else on this board previously stated: your new watch is trying to get your attention!!!!!!!!!

give it a wash

Good God man...don't do anything to attempt to remove that squeek!

People on this forum (me included) miss it so much, we pay tens of thousands of dollars to keep reliving the squeek!!!

That is a good answer👍🏻^

Congrats... Is the squeak the bracelet? I know my bezel has the slightest bit of play so if I rotate my wrist with my BLNR I can hear the slightest jingle from my bezel moving around. It is quite insignificant and does not bother me.

2-3 weeks it will be gone

Andad · 25 May 2015, 06:41 PM

Then you'll want it back.

Spoonage · 25 May 2015, 10:06 PM

My BLNR had it for weeks. Drove me crazy. Tried washing it, wearing it more to break in, etc. Finally went back to the AD. They took the bracelet off and put it back on and no squeaks.

I do not miss the squeaking.
