New Hulk Bracelet Squeak ?

I got this from an AD.

My DSSD and WG sub bracelet didn't squeak...what's up ?

It squeaks when I flex the bracelet back and forth quickly.

Or I can slightly hear it squeak when I rotate my wrist quickly sometimes.

Maybe when you do that your bracelet is hurting and screams a little..
It will go away with some use and a few showers..

Ok, put my new watch under running water....less squeak after I pulled it out of the water.

But still squeaks more than my DSSD.

Also the bracelet while looking similar to the DSSD.....the Sub C LV bracelet doesn't look as thick. Is this right ?

warm water and mild soap will eliminate the squeaking

Mine squeaks as well after 6 months of ownership. Even after joining me in the shower most mornings.
Doesn't bother me much though.

My SUB C did the same when i got it. I wish i washed it with soapy water instantly. Somehow the links that were squeaking worn out prematurely had RSC replace 3 links under warranty.

Yep! In fact, when I ordered the watch I made sure to check the "Squeaky Bracelet" option.

It's fine but is does irritate.

I used lubricant for guns. It's not oil, it's some other stuff that is not sticky or oily...

I leaves a white powder which can be wiped of easy.

powedered Teflon in a solvent carrier... not a bad idea.
graphite powder for locks would probably work as well. My GMT IIc bracelet squeaks after a year of use.

My GMT II C squeaks when I take it off my wrist, but it does not bother me. It is better than the hollow rattle of my DJ. Wear it in good health.

The 214270 I bought last month was squeaking like a Mofo.

Get in the bath soap it up and rinse a few times, I can pretty much guarantee it will be silent soon after.

I miss my new squeak sound
