I have an older solid link oyster bracelet and it squeaks when I move my wrist. Does anyone know how to fix it?

Don't move..., no, it's too easy.

I'd say it just needs a good cleaning.

Spray the bracelet with some wd40 . Rub it with ur fingers for a while and leave it for 5 more mins .. Then wash it with a soap (twice if needed) .. Hope this helps ..

ultrasonic, fresh spring bars, and make sure it's sized correctly.

WD40 Really? Will it damage the bracelet?

Replace it with a NATO!

I wouldn't use a solvent-based lubricant anywhere near a fine timepiece.

Don't do it. Just clean it with soap and water, as others have suggested.

Hop in the shower with the watch and you'll be "squeakless" when you get out. Worked 2 times for me!

I've got a 4 month old bought brand new Submariner and the bracelet squeeks for what its worth. I think the bracelets are just like that.
