126710BLRO Jubilee Bracelet Wear
Hi TRF,
I own a 126170BLRO (11/20) and it’s get a lot of wrist time. Almost daily. It’s in incredible shape and has only a few hairlines on the case and as you imagine the clasp is wearing nicely. My concern is that the bracelet seems to be having more and more “flexibility” to it and it’s noticeable looser than years ago. I had it sized at the AD like my others but I’m wondering if the pins need replacing? Also, on the modern Jubilee bracelets only a portion of the links could be adjusted as the majority are solid links. What are your thoughts on seeing my AD about my concerns and would this be something covered under warranty or more of “wear and tear” And just buying a new bracelet? Thank you in advance! |

Don’t like jubilee bracelets for this reason. They do look great on some references! But yeah, they don’t wear well.

My DJ has had A LOT of wristtime since I bought it in 2020, still as new “stretch-wise”. Same goes for my BLRO from 2022, but that has had significantly less wristtime.

Can you show a pic of the stretch? I’ll compare to my own (4yrs daily wear).

That’s what makes it comfortable, I’d just roll with it.

If it’s still in warranty, it might be covered, though it is most likely normal wear and tear, especially if you don’t clean the bracelet often enough, or wear it on the loose side. We do need pics to further assist.
