93150 Bracelet stretch

Hey guys, wanted to get your opinions on this 93150 bracelet. I have the opportunity to get it repaired at MY’s store in HK for USD 300+ or perhaps a new bracelet at considerably more. Do ya’ll think this bracelet has much life left in it or may pose a safety risk as it is now?

Looks to be in very good condition still with quite minimal stretch. I would wait. In the meantime to extend the life, just wash it with a toothbrush and some dawn soap like once a week.

Looks nearly new to me. Keep it clean and let it be.

Looks fine, make sure it’s not too loose or it will get worse. You have plenty life left.

The bracelet does not appear to be stretched.

I only wonder what spending $300 is going to repair on it?

For $300 not much I’m guessing

I think that's probably in line with my best, not worst one !

It's fine. I've had them done and they are over shiny and napped and stiff as a board and not in keeping with rest of watch....don't bother now unless v bad.
