Hi everyone,

I bought my 116234 DJ 4 days ago and the oyster bracelet is now starting to "squeak" / "creak" at the links when moved a certain way off of the wrist. Is this part of normal break-in or do I need to take it back to the AD to be addressed?

Thanks in advance!

swils8610 · 6 July 2016, 01:12 PM

It's normal. Wear and enjoy!

brandrea · 6 July 2016, 01:13 PM

Enjoy it while it lasts

captain_NEMO · 6 July 2016, 01:16 PM

No worries. It's a sign of being brand spanking new and will fade away soon enough. Enjoy it and wear in good health.

Now, how about posting some pics!

Jmals · 6 July 2016, 01:16 PM

That's a relief

Thanks for the quick responses!

Very nice watch , enjoy the squeaking

Chadridv · 6 July 2016, 01:44 PM

Beautiful watch! Congrats. Squeaking is the best sound :)

GB-man · 6 July 2016, 01:56 PM

Yes! It's like new car smell for new rolex

NeoAnderson · 6 July 2016, 02:23 PM

It will wear down and show lines.

Looks great, fits you well!

Well that's great....just great buddy. Every time someone such as yourself brings up this topic it's like the magic password that brings the evil genie out of the bottle!

And the end results are always me being forced to satisfy my deep disgusting desires to hear the squeaky bracelet of a new watch!

Enjoy the squeak while it lasts.....when it stops you'll want to buy another!

Beautiful watch mine says hi!

Just remember you have to look up from time to time so you don't run into anything! 😀

One of the best sounds there is. I miss it!

I think I lost mine after 3-4 weeks with the blnr, with everyday wear.

mattty · 7 July 2016, 01:24 AM

I wish mine still squeaked. :(

P2725TMB · 7 July 2016, 01:29 AM

Drove me nuts. I use bike chain lubricant - works a treat, with no evidence once wiped off with tissue.

steve-az · 7 July 2016, 01:31 AM

Another easy and clean way to remove the squeak is to use a toothbrush and liquid dish soap to clean the bracelet. It immediately eliminated the squeak on my DSSD.

Enjoy your new watch and wear it in good health.

GradyPhilpott · 7 July 2016, 01:46 AM

Just be glad your hearing is still that good.

watchwatcher · 7 July 2016, 02:56 AM

Try washing with soap and water. No more creaking.

Said it before - lurking in TRF is like holding your AA meetings in an open bar. Temptations in every corner.

OP - nice watch man! The Oyster and the fluted bezel goes together rather well, especially with that dial, despite my preconceived notions.
