Preventing stretch on a Presidential bracelet (8385) when the fit isn't perfect

[TomWambsgans]

I recently acquired a 18238 with a bracelet in great condition, but my wrist is between sizes on the bracelet. With one link added, it works but fits a bit loosely. With all links removed, it's sufficiently tight that it's pretty much unwearable. So one link it is.

I read in previous threads that wearing the bracelet loosely contributes to bracelet stretch. Is there anything I can do to minimize this effect? Frequent washing of the bracelet?

Any advice much appreciated, as usual. (I don't have this issue on my 14060M, which fits like a dream.)

My 2 cents…
There is a 1.25 link available for the 118238 president bracelet.
Maybe you can find one and get it fitted to your bracelet by a jeweler.

Thanks.

So, if I buy that does it replace one of the sections on my bracelet? I don't know anything about bracelets. Are only certain sections replaceable, or can any section be replaced?
