93150 bracelet noise?

so when i flick my wrist to adjust my watch (i do it often)
it makes a clink noise
i think i narrowed it down to the non solid end links
thought it was the crystal at first (sounded like it)
is this normal and if so can it be dampened with something?
im taking it to a watchmaker in the next few days..
just want to know if anyone elses makes this noise
thanks

Well, I'm pretty sure he's not going to charge you for merely checking the bracelet. You can have a close look at it too and see if anything is loose.

Frankly, on a close examination, you should find nothing wrong by way of either linkage or a loose clasp.

Let me know.

Its quite normal and just a unique part of the Rolex bracelet before the Sel.Very much like the rotor wobble on the Valjoux 7750 powered watches, it can be heard, and sometimes felt on wrist, its just one of its little quirks.
