BLNR bracelet squeak?
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.

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.

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!!!

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.

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. |

Send it to me, I'll break it in for you and let you know when the squeak is gone.
