How to make Rolex glidelock work smoothly?

[Newguyhere95]

Hey there,
I just received my 116613lb, everything works well except the Glidelock system, it’s very hard to adjust, what did you do to fix it?
I am thinking about using WD-40 for it, don’t know it’s good idea or not.
Can you help me out? Thank you

I wouldn't use WD-40. Try a baby oil bath first:

Yes, this is the right solution.

Clean the bracelet in an ultrasonic bath, let it try and then put it in baby oil overnight.

The glide lock on these reps are a pain in the ass. I have one on my CF Sub-Date that works great but one on my NOOB Hulk that's bad one on my CF Daytona gray dial rubber strap (that I bought from ALI) that works like crap as well. PITA.

I use a furniture wax stick, the kind you use on drawer rails to make them operate smoothly. Just rub some in the sidewall grooves and work it in. Any liquid lube or oil is just going to attract and retain dust and grime.

I got my Clean Starbucks not too long ago, the glidelocks work kinda smooth. This Bluesy glidelock don’t work well i guess. Bluesy also from Clean factory too.

I would definitely not use WD-40 as it's not a lubricant. I recently had this issue with a few of my reps and "dry lube" worked perfectly. Also, I would not use Vaseline

Dismantle it, refinish the burred edges with a buff stick, reassemble and lubricate with silicone grease.

lubricate with silicone grease, using Qtips to do it so it will be less messy.
