GF santos rotor noise and bracelet questions

[Circuitmstr]

I just got a 40mm GF santos new from watchfinder.
I love it. The watch looks great. But, the rotor is a bit noisy and the bracelet feels like it needs a lube. It just feels sort of dry, slightly creaky and therefore cheap.
What are the prescribed fixes for these things?
Thanks guys!

Half a drop of Moebius D5 on the rotor bearings + soaking the bracelet in baby oil over night, should do the trick.

Thanks guys.
So if you soak the bracelet in baby oil how do you get it all out so it doesn’t deep out for months?

Personally, I remove the bracelet and thoroughly wash with baby shampoo or other mild soap using a toothbrush, getting between links and in all crevices. This will get out so much crap it's unbelievable.

Then I soak in oil for about 4 or 5 hours. After it's trip to the oil bath I wash again (lightly) with mild soap and warm water. Dry with a microfiber towel and let it sit out on a towel for a few hours and you should have no oil seepage issues. It will feel like a new bracelet when you're finished.

I think I’d like to try this - for the “soak in oil” stage, do you remove the caseback or just immerse the watch head as is?

And is there a particular oil you use?

I use baby oil for the bracelet. I always take the bracelet off and immerse the bracelet only. Do not take the case back off. You do not want any baby oil to get inside the watch, it will destroy the movement.

This is for the bracelet only. Never soak your watch head in anything, with or without the caseback on.
