Hi all, I received a defective bracelet from Hont with my 126610ln. The 12 o clock SEL clicks when pressed on and when the bracelet receives any pressure from forearms expanding. I asked him for a new bracelet, but he told me to ask here if he should have to send me a new bracelet. What's the consensus around this?

Is the pin not fully engaged?

How much is ur fkin forearms expanding. Lol

I think the clicking, which shouldnt even click with normal wear, is taking u away from how nice the rest of the watch is.

This isnt amazon.

I say u enjoy or post on m2m. Sure someone would gladly take it off your hands.

Welcomed to rwi.

Suspect could be some industrial shaving not clean between the sel and the adjacent link, perhaps try articulate it more and see if it goes away , or soaking into some baby oil to smooth things out .

With normal wear you shouldnt need to worry about it , with reps they are not always perfect and need to learn how to accept some minor imperfections.

just sell it later down the line if you really couldn't live with that .

if possible, clean the bracelet in an ultrasonic bath (you won't believe what is revealed) and then put it in baby oil overnight.
