How long should a new 93150 bracelet last?
If worn daily? Under light stress-office work.

A few decades. Perhaps several.

Lol 40+ years if you take care of it and keep it clean. Dirt and grit cause stretch

It will out last your clothes, shoes, socks, cars, your marriage, and in some unfortunate cases: you .

Seriously? It will last forever. It will be on someone's wrist when you're long gone.

my TT version endured for 20 years exactly of rugged daily wear 24/7!
at the end of its life it was very stretched but still sturdy, the only maintenance was in the shower, i would lather it up with whatever soap was available, using my fingers to work it in....every few months i would use a old soft toothbrush . the TT may be a bit softer metal... SS may last longer?

If you can live with moderate stretch, I would say it will last 25+ years of daily wear. If you replace it when it has moderate stretch, I would say 10-15 years.

20-50 years, depending on how much wear you can live with.

I've met some guys over the years with TT oysters...and Jubilees that were way gone, but still holding on to the watch quite well. Im curious, did you replace it after the 20 year mark you mention?
