Bracelet question

Post by Sniper13 » Tue Dec 30, 2014 12:29 pm

So I just got my Sub-c. It was BNIB. There is a small squeak in the bracelet when I move my wrist. Is that normal? Will it go away? Just tight tolerances?

Stupid question :rolleyes:

Don't use WD-40 on it but you can take it off and soak in it some chain oil and it will stop the squeak.

Happened to mine too, especially in the first five seconds of intense wrist movement

Normal. Don't do anything to it except wear it. It'll go away.

LOL, you should try working here. It's like I'll take this, and one of these, and one of those too. :grin:

You can wash it with some liquid dish soap, seemed to help mine when it was new and had the squeak.

I put a little oil on it and then washed it off with warm water. No more squeak :headbang:

Doesn't work as effectively on the teal or yellow Isos.

Sorry Dan
