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. http://arcticshootingsupply.us/maxpr...lubricant.aspx |

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 |
