This morning when I put my watch on I noticed there is a slight squeaking sound coming from inside the watch when I move my wrist around. It has never been that way before. The watch stays on a winder when not in use. The watch seems to be keeping fairly accurate time.

Any idea what it could be, or if this is something to be concerned about?

Thanks in advance for the help.

Don’t you think it’s the bracelet? Most of my new Rolexes do that for awhile.

It's definitely not the bracelet. I've had this watch for 5-6 years...before BLNR's were cool, Lol.

Ok. Sorry. However I thought they were cool the day they launched. Call me crazy. :-)

The rotor sometimes makes a squeeking noise when the lubricant is gone, the first stage of a wrecked rotor axle.

Watch winders are notorious for adding unnecessary wear and tear, and can be detrimental to the rotor 'assembly' due to being constant-angle devices. Sounds to me like your timepiece needs service / lube / ???

I'm guessing that's what it is....I stopped the movement and guess I will send it to have it looked at.

Thank you
