my Pro II bracelet is a bit squeeky and rattly on the wrist ?

I do wear it with some play in the bracelet due to a wrist that expands massively in heat

is this normal and is there a cure ??

The Pro 2 I wear with my SA makes a noise as well. Only seems to make the noise when I wear it little tighter than normal. When I release the clasp adjustment to make it a bit larger the noise seems to go away. But you have to deal with the watch rolling around your wrist a little more. This can suck when it is a 48mm wide and 18mm thick SA :D :D :D

I wear mine tight also, they leave a little imprint when I remove them, I like it that way.

I wear mine a little loose, not so much that it can rotate around the wrist fully but enough so there is a little play. I just have to be extra mindful not to bang it around though. It's an even trade for comfort IMO... Doesn't make any squeaking sounds though.

Is the imprint the caseback? That it is with me when I take it off? :) :)

Yes the case back and the band, usually when it's warm inside, but when I go into the cold its a little loose which is nice, I think. Removed 4 or 5 links from each of my 5 super avengers

Same for me with the change in temp. I had to remove 2. However I am thinking of adding one back and using the micro adjustment on the clasp to get a more "custom fit". The way it stands now it is either to tight or to loose.
