watch band

This might have been discussed already, so I will apologize in advance for that. I wear my 114060 daily. Is there any way you can maintain the band so you don't have major stretching.

Keep it clean (once per week or so) and it should out last you.
Enjoy it!

Get yourself an ultrasonic jewelry cleaner (cheap on eBay) and give it a good solid ultrasonic bath every other month or so. Gets out the grime that collects on the inside of the links where the damage can occur.

This! You'd be amazed how much dirt comes out of a clean looking bracelet!

Also wear it properly fitted- snug but comfortable. If you wear it loose so it flops all over the place, the movement in the links combined with dirt and grime are what wears the pins and the pivot points loose and sloppy.
