It is the nature of hollow end links to be noisier than watches with bracelets that have solid end links. For example, only in recent years has Rolex implemented solid end links in their watches - owners used to forever complain about them being noisy. You could stop by a jeweler and see if bracelet is install correctly. If it is, then about your only option is to buy a new bracelet. |

GW, We appreciate your support of this forum. WTF has only been up and running since October, but we're experiencing pretty substantial growth and traffic seems to be picking up daily in all the forums.  I look forward to seeing some pictures of those new Invictas! You'll love the 9937!  |

GW,
We always appreciate regular "customers". I think the regulars are what make forums like these work.
Keep up the posting, and let us see the new watch when it arrives!
