Squeaky Bracelet
I got my bluesy back in February and since then I have noticed the bracelet squeak when taking on/off the watch, and rotating my wrist to see the time. It doesn't always squeak and once it does, I cannot replicate the issue for many hours.
I read previously that this is normal with new Rolexes and should go away. But it still hasn't two months later with regular wear. Is this something I should get the AD to look at, or if it doesn't bother me, can I just wait until I get it serviced? |

Just give it a clean in warm soapy water, it should disappear.

Just a matter of time. The squeaking will stop sooner or later as the bracelet wears.

That's the best option and repeated once a week or so will keep bracelet from any wear factor and make it last much longer. And thats the secret with any Rolex bracelet keep them clean with regular washing in plain old soap and water, rinse well after in clean water and dry with any clean lint free cotton type cloth.

I’ve had some that have squeaked longer … it depends how much you’re wearing it me thinks.
It’ll eventually go away and you’ll miss it ![]() |

It happened with mine funnily enough, in 2015. It goes after a few months, it isn't due to dirt, but do keep it clean.

New news squeak did a bit, it’ll go away after a bit of wear and washing. My sub squeaked for a week or so.

Once the squeaks stop theyll be asking about scratches and dings.
