Thanks all for your replies. Seems like all these worries were unnecessary .

And thanks for reminding me the stickers should be removed! I took care of that just now.

Burn them. So the temptation to put them back on isn't there. There are some people who even buy new ones to put on..

I’ve been there mate and i am 100% sure that your BLRO is fine, nothing to worry about.
For me the main problem now, you must get rid off all the negative thinking and clear your minds, just forget about it so you can enjoy wearing it again cheers.

Unless you are lifting her 20 times per day for six months you are fine.

Ignore these other idiots. The bracelet is stretched and should be repaired ASAP. I wouldn't wear it.

I hope the professionals at TRF can convince me otherwise

If it was your intention to hurt, you have failed my good sir. I hope you get to fill your life with all good things.

I agree, thank you for the great input! I think it’s a process many go through with a new Rolex

Thank you for your opinion, I respectfully will not follow this advice.

Aww this just made my heart melt. I’m pretty sure there will be more of these threads in which I post and my wife finds out and pitches in. It seems to have become ‘a thing’.

Upon closer inspection it seems that the bracket strut is pushed back causing a repositioning of the basket flange which should be reset into place. Once the cog is properly aligned, it will slip back into place and should look normal. Or you could always just replace the bracelet.
