Hey all

I've added another brand new Rolex Datejust II Ref: 116300 (silver dial) to my collection, which arrived today. Beautiful!!!

Problem is, due to the fact that it's brand new (it was actually personally picked up by the manager at Mappin & Webb, Royal Exchange showroom, yesterday from their HO) it has a slight squeak to the Oyster bracelet.

On a side note, I also had to purchase a brand new Oyster glidelock system bracelet to replace a damaged one for my 116610LN, which also has a slight squeak to it.

Is there a special, recommended lubricant, that I can use to eliminate the said squeak(s), or is it best just to wear the bracelet(s) in?

TIA

Just wear it and break it in.

Jazz · 8 February 2014, 09:57 PM

Thanks, Cesium.

I forgot to mention that my 116610LN Oyster bracelet has actually stopped squeaking now that I've worn it for the best part of 2 weeks. In fact, I actually answered my own question, really. However, it's always best to get other opinions :-)

I miss my squeaky sounds...

Wash with soap and water. Squeak will be gone.

I had a bit of squeak with mine- I just wore it and over time it went away.

SUBversive · 8 February 2014, 11:39 PM

As said by others I wouldn't use any type of lubricant.

It's just trying to get your attention.

I'll be honest. Two days ago I was concerned about the squeak on my new DSSD. But after reading this thread, I have changed my mind and am loving my squeak till it lasts. I know it will be gone soon and I will surely miss it.

nauticajoe · 9 February 2014, 01:20 AM

Enjoy the squeak.

Jazz · 9 February 2014, 01:34 AM

Thank you all for your comments. I shall enjoy the squeaks whilst they last 😝

Just a couple more things. Does anybody know how many links there should be on the following bracelets, from new, as BNIB, as I swear some AD's "retain", for want of a better word, one or two, here and there: -

1. Rolex Submariner Date 116610LN - Oyster
2. Rolex Datejust II 116300 silver baton - Oyster

Enjoy it while it lasts, it will go away after a few weeks of wear

anilzat · 10 February 2014, 12:45 AM

See what happens when you buy new, squeaks like a hungary mouse. Congrats on a new Rolex watch. ;)

Wash it with soap and warm water.

See my signature.

Send it to me immediately. I will test it in a real world environment for one year and return it along with my confidential report which will be shared only with Rolex, S.A.
