Hi Everyone!

I just bought pre-owned Day Date, heavy link model, I would like to ask you guys how bad is my bracelet "stretched", few pics:

For some reason bracelet seems to have more stretch on 6 o'clock side, do you know why? Thanks in advance for your help! Best regards!

Kingair · 14 March 2013, 05:18 AM

Depending on how much wrist time you give it . . maybe another 20 years to go . . .

Is in great shape . . . otherwise send it to YM

mannyv11 · 14 March 2013, 05:18 AM

Very minimal in my humble opinion.

RolexPete32 · 14 March 2013, 05:18 AM

How old is it? By heavy links are you refering to the new style solid middle links.

cop414 · 14 March 2013, 05:19 AM

I've seen much worse.
Congratulations on your new watch and welcome to TRF.

MonBK · 14 March 2013, 05:20 AM

Looks good.

arpone · 14 March 2013, 05:22 AM

Thanks Gents for your replies! Peter, watch is P-series, model: 118208, bought in 2004.

erling · 14 March 2013, 05:22 AM

Looks ok. Mine is much worse.

gold4u2 · 14 March 2013, 05:23 AM

I'm going to have to agree with very minimal too. Looks great!

Congrats!

luvsub · 14 March 2013, 05:25 AM

looks fine, very light stretch. Good watch.

tedscott3 · 14 March 2013, 05:25 AM

You have been in too many watch chat rooms. There is almost zero stretch there. Don't worry!!!

I agree with everyone else. It looks good. After 9 years of wear I have seen much worse. Keep it clean and you can get another 20 years of heavy wear easy.

arpone · 14 March 2013, 05:32 AM

Peter, watch doesn't seem to be worn every day through last nine years, bracelet closes very tightly, I think like a new one... :) Thanks again for your replies guys!

Armyguy03 · 14 March 2013, 05:55 AM

Oh WOW, that looks bad. Send it to me right away, I've PMed you my address.

Looks good to me, enjoy, LOVE the DD.

mjclark32 · 14 March 2013, 06:14 AM

Its got some wear, but nothing major. Enjoy and congrats!

Rolexis · 14 March 2013, 06:17 AM

Not bad at all I am sure you can't tell any stretch when you wear it

Chris B · 14 March 2013, 06:18 AM

Cracking watch, looks in good nick.

And looks like a Sub underneath the DD. Best of both worlds

mrbill2mrbill2 · 14 March 2013, 07:12 AM

Welcome to TRF!

A little stretch in the third pic. But, it looks good with a lot of life left in it. Just keep it clean.

Thanks guys for your replies! I was thinking my bracelet is stretched as I never had a watch with president band before, but now I know that I have nothing to worry about... :)

rodrob59 · 14 March 2013, 10:47 AM

Wish mine looked like that. It'll be making a trip to Hong Kong in a year or two.

jolimont · 14 March 2013, 01:03 PM

gwozhog · 14 March 2013, 01:07 PM

I would worry about the lint in your carpet instead. You are good to go.
