Hi, I have a VSF Sub 114060 No date with 3130 movement.
After the watch has sat for a while (few days/ a week), when I pick up the watch and give it some movement to get it going I can hear a squeek coming form the internal mechanism as i swing the watch on my wrist. The hand movement is otherwise smooth and when the watch is still it doesnt make any noise.

I dont remember it making a squeek sound when I first got the watch, could this be from it sitting in a watch box for too long and not used?

Can anyone explain why it's doing this, or is this normal?

Are you sure it's coming from the movement? The VSF bracelets seem to be "squeaky" if you do not give them a spa treatment.

You are absolutely right! I isolated the clasp and the sound stopped. Do you know the best way to treat it?

If it's any consolation, my pikachu squeeked.

i turned to Google and found that translated, pikachu meant electric mouse. I gave it some cheese and it's now a lot quieter.
