Hulk oyster link stiff all of the sudden
I’ve been daily wearing my 116610LV since acquiring it in 2020. Today when I took it off, I noticed one of the links became stiff. It can still move, but there is noticeable resistance (faint rubbing sound as well).
I gave it a warm, soapy bath, but to no avail. I’ve heard of this happening with brand new watches, but this has been  a daily wearer for me going on four years. Any suggestions? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’d unscrew said link and inspect/clean it.

Just flex it up and down about 50 times. This usually happens on new watches or from getting it sized at the AD as they use loctite but can happen on out of the blue.

Sounds like a loctite issue...if you have a watchmaker you trust, it's a simple fix.

Have you soaked the link in warm Dawn/water for 30 minutes?? After that try running hot water over the link then resoak.

I would also ultrasonic the bracelet. I have had grit cause stiffness before.

Have a trusted jewler steam clean the watch. The high pressure steam will help remove any debris that is gumming it up.
