2000 Submariner 2 Tone Bracelet Stretch
I have a two tone blue Submariner year 2000 and as you can see from the pics, I have some stretch in the bracelet. But, only the links that attach to the actual watch are stretched enough to need repair. One is much worse than the other! Of course, I'm concerned it'll break and simply slip off of my wrist..!
![]() Is it possible to get just these fixed somewhere in the UK? What kind of process? Pics attached: |

Those are springbars that connect the solid end links to the rest of the bracelet and they look very worn out. I would not even wear the watch with that bracelet as it is. A trip to M. Young for a bracelet restoration is in dire need, IMHO.

Yeah, that needs repair/replacing, IMO.

And now I realize how silly I looked asking if my bracelet needed to be repaired...
Yep, I agree with the other forum members advice. |

I dunno how you could tolerate that. Looks terrible and like it will snap any moment.

was feeling a bit blue about moving my 16710 but seeing this makes me think the 16518 on factory leather may not have been a mistake. get a rubber b while you send band to my imho
