Is this a thing or am I special? It doesn’t bother me I’ve just never experienced it before with any other Rolex. I’m guessing it might have something to do with the matte finish on the bracelet but that’s the only variable I can identify. Otherwise it’s exceeding all expectations in both function and joy of ownership.

Thank you.

Same with my D-blue 126660 - had it for two years, worn in rotation - still squeaks...
Also have an older deepsea, no issues with that one.
As you said though, no complaints, beautiful watches!

Squeaky = new. Enjoy it while it lasts.

My 116500 squeaked for about 2 months when I first got it (none of my others did, though...) Completely silent now. Congratulations!

Wash with soapy water.

Clean the bracelet a few times with dishwashing liquid - it removes the squeak. Every new Rolex that I've had has done this.I have a new SD43 and after 4 or 5 bracelet cleanings, it went away.
