Bracelet stretch on an Explorer II 16570
Hi all,
I’m considering buying a 16570 online (C. 2001) for £6,250 and been sent this photo of the bracelet. How does this compare to others out there? Look like reasonable condition, for a watch of this age or worth passing on and finder another. |

Bracelet stretch on an Explorer II 16570
This is my A serial purchase in 2000
 Serviced once 10 years ago by RSC (although I don’t think they touched the bracelet ) Your call if your example is priced appropriately Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Pretty good for a 20 year old watch.

Perfectly fine imho won’t be noticeable on wrist and I think when the bands stretch a bit they become more comfortable

That looks like a good amount of stretch. Personally I would not settle for that. I have a D serial, virtually no stretch.

Check out Mike with Rolliworks. He serviced, polished, and repaired all of the stretch in my YM.
