Rolex Day Date bracelet "stretch". How bad is mine?
Hi Everyone!
I just bought pre-owned Day Date, heavy link model, I would like to ask you guys how bad is my bracelet "stretched", few pics: photo 2.jpg photo 1.jpg photo 3.jpg For some reason bracelet seems to have more stretch on 6 o'clock side, do you know why? Thanks in advance for your help! Best regards! |

Depending on how much wrist time you give it . . maybe another 20 years to go . . .
 Is in great shape . . . otherwise send it to YM HAGOne

How old is it? By heavy links are you refering to the new style solid middle links.

You have been in too many watch chat rooms. There is almost zero stretch there. Don't worry!!!

Welcome to TRF!
A little stretch in the third pic. But, it looks good with a lot of life left in it. Just keep it clean.

Wish mine looked like that. It'll be making a trip to Hong Kong in a year or two.

I would worry about the lint in your carpet instead. You are good to go.
