Squeaky Bracelet
I just bought my GV yesterday and I noticed the bracelet is rather squeaky when it moves. Has this happened to anyone else? Maybe it just needs to loosen up a bit. Any thoughts?

I suggest you search old threads. I believe this has been covered at great lengths. It will go away.

It's quite normal.
Wash it with Luke warm water and liquid soap. |

In a month from now you'll be missing the squeaks. That's when you realize it's not a new watch anymore.

Supplied free with each new Rolex bracelet
Newer models have a 'maxi squeak'

I understand that if you immerse it in bacon fat for 5 minutes, let it drain on some paper towels for a while, it will never squeal.... errrrr, squeak again..
plus it smells good too.. (disclaimer, I have not tried this method, so use at your own risk)

If anyone was curious the soap and warm water took the squeak away. I was going to let it go but it was getting annoying lol.
