Bring it to the AD, they will tell you if there is any damage.
Good luck.

It looks pretty normal to me.
When it gets a couple of decades or so of wear into it, then you might genuinely consider changing bracelets

Sell the watch with full disclosure of the big time damage and move on from it. This one is absolutely RUINED

These bracelets do not wear when overtightened but when worn comfortably loose.
The fitting on your friends wrist has had zero impact.

Get rid of the OCD and start enjoying, it’s just a watch
And thats what I thought but a lot of people saying it looks different I didn’t really have that there before, and the links also seem a little wobblier on that side of the bracelet if you were me would you just leave it? I don’t mind paying 2k or under for a new bracelet if the watch looks crooked

Maybe buy three bracelets so you can swap them out after you wear them

Goodness gracious, how has this thread gotten to the second page. And I thougt I was OCD.

There is no way your buddy with the voluptuous wrist could have stretched your bracelet, or deformed it or bent it.The reason a jubilee is so comfortable on your wrist is BECAUSE it conforms to your wrist. So what looks wonky is purely the jubilee going across the bumpy part of your ulna. Your watch is fine, don't spend 2k on another bracelet.

What is your friends wrist made of. Step back, breath and think logically.

Also I literally laughed out loud at how bad you are at reading sarcasm.

I have not commented on this forum for a bit but this particular thread reeled me back in hook, line and sinker.

To the OP.
Yes your bracelet is totally stretched and ruined.
Go to the RSC on 5th Avenue and tell them your bracelet is ruined.
Look for this nice Spanish woman named Karen (that is her real name)
Tell her your bracelet is ruined and you want to buy a new replacement bracelet.
Show her your credit card and ask her how long it would take to get a new bracelet.

I want you to really listen to what she is going to say and I please post it here afterwards.

Don't post anything here until you do all the above. Thank you.

How about this, have your friend pay for the new bracelet to replace the perfectly fine bracelet that doesn't have any issues?
