Prior to performing the bracelet rattle fix, you may want to address the sharpness of your bracelet. When you take it apart (from the watch case and clasp) and prior to lubing it, you may want to take some medium-fine grit sand paper and dull the edges. A little at a time. You can take more off, but you can't put it back on once its gone.
Onto the show... The hollow mid link bracelet on my sub made more noise than a virgin on
prom night. Now it's as quiet as a celibate mute. Let me explain..
I'm into biking, mountain biking specifically. My first job was actually in a bikeshop. I decided to test my theory that a really high end bicycle power train dry lube would solve bracelet rattle. (this is not the same dry lube used on watch movements)
Let me tell you, it works. Not only does it work, it cleans the bracelet,
protects it, and basically time-release waxes it.
I used Rock N Roll Extreme chain lube.

White lightning or a similar product should work as well. Go to a bike shop
and ask for dry lube for the chain. Dry lube should have sediment at the bottom of the bottle-
Here's what you do:
This isn't like 3 in 1 oil, where a drop or two will do ya. Remove the bracelet from the watch. Remove the clasp and divers extension from the bracelet, they aren't going into the bath. Place the bracelet in a ziplock. Shake the lube vigorously then immediately squirt a healthy
stream on the bracelet in the bag. Work it into the links, move the bracelet around in the ziplock, work the lube into the links all
around. Sometimes you will get some dark residue and dirt out of these bracelets as the first job of this type of lubrication is to clean the dirt and grime off of metal.
Next, pull the bracelet out of the bag and place it in your sink. let it sit and dry for a few. The solvent will evaporate and the wax in the
dry lube will begin to set. After a minute or two, wash your bracelet with a drop or two of dish soap and cold water. Let dry, then buff with a towel.
No oily residue. No rattle. Great feel.
All things considered, if they were forced to choose; i'd bet virgins on
prom night would probably prefer the nipple cream. I know, I digress.
