Maybe it's the bracelet?

 

My bracelet squeeks after I give it a wash.

 

The solid center link bracelets that I own (DeepSea, and Milgauss) "squeak" a bit from time to time on the wrist. I agree..........are you sure it is not the bracelet??

 

Yep, I'm sure it's not the braclet, I wish it was, in fact that's what it first sounded like but it's inside the watch.

This one squeaks too.......:roll:

 

Funny.

 

Squeaking GMT II, 2

It's definitly not the bracelet. Anybody have an idea what it could be?

Well, that's a pretty strong statement....... but take the bracelet off and rotate the watch head around and give it a couple of shakes.... just to be sure...:think:

The only moving parts in your watch, outside the actual drivetrain and escapement that would squeak all the time; is the self wind module..

Sometimes the hole jewel that the rotor axle rides in gets broken and the rotor will spin off-center. It usually manifests itself as a knocking noise as the rotor wobbles and hits the edges... but I suppose it could squeak... again, it would only do that when you rotate the watch and the rotor spins..

What do you mean squeaking? You mean the movement is making a squeaking sound?

Yes, every time the watch changes position on my wrist, just normal movement.

 

I know you said it wasn't, but my guess is that, yes, is the bracelet...

Try putting the watch on a strap and see if the watch still makes the noise. Out side of that it may be the rotor, or the wheels in the winding system that are need of attention. Does it make any squeaking sound when hand wound?

 

Re: Squeaking GMT II, 2

Could be a dirty bracelet or the end links, something is stuck between the links. This used to happen on one of my bracelets. A good cleaning and the problem gone.

Re: Squeaking GMT II, 2

After you change bracelets (if you do that) it's time to take it in for servicing. Squeaking cannot be good. I'd do it before the squeaking becomes an expensive repair.

 

Re: Squeaking GMT II, 2

It's going to Rolex today, guess it will be the Christmas present to myself.
I don't feel at all good about just waiting to see what would happen with continued wear so in it goes...it louder this AM.

Sqeaky GMTII-3

It's off to Rolex so it will be interesting. I also asked bout having the case back
replaced, because it's engraved and they told me they could but they would not return the original because of the possibility of counterfeiting.

Didn't know that. Is it correct?

 

Re: Sqeaky GMTII-3
