Can A Jubilee Bracelet Be "Tightened'?
What, if anything, can be done to rejuvenate a Jubilee bracelet that has been "stretched" somewhat? Cost estimate?

My understanding is no, you will need to exchange it.

Watches of Switzerland (Bond St) London confirmed that the price would be around £910 minimum, but subject to individual estimate. I believe the watch would need to go back to HQ in Switzerland to get that estimate. They replace all link pins and give you what is in effect a new bracelet from old. Given the lifespan of a TT bracelet is about 6-7 polishes carried out at the service interval, IMO you would need to be nearer to the beginning than end on that scale to make it financially worth the cost. AJF.
