How's she look - Good, stretched, as should for a timepiece model from 1997?

I would say that it looks real good for a 15 year old oyster bracelet.

hard to tell from that pic, but stretch does not look to bad on that one, usually when the clasp is open holding that way will give the illusion or more stretch compared to a closed clasp (from pictures I have seen)

mjclark32 · 19 January 2012, 03:58 AM

Looks pretty good to me. Clean it once a week or so and you should keep it going strong

TimothyNelson · 19 January 2012, 04:04 AM

I thought so, too. Here's one with the clasp closed.

bigwatchman · 19 January 2012, 04:06 AM

Pretty tight to me.

rad87gn · 19 January 2012, 04:31 AM

Looks fine to me!

Here's a 1978 original:

Wolfgang427 · 19 January 2012, 09:18 AM

TT band not bad at all...

SS band looks strechted to me(as I can see the pins between the links.)

Melanotaenia · 19 January 2012, 09:26 AM

that second pic definitely shows that the bracelet is very tight. For an old oyster, that was either worn very little or taken care of and cleaned very well!!

azguy · 19 January 2012, 11:11 AM

you got a good one there

Worn snugly daily/showered daily on this Teamster's wrist, "trucking" around far and near for decades. Never babied, and band has a few dents to prove it while watch head itself is unscathed. Check above the watch face in below photo:

Looks surprisingly good

Rolex77 · 19 January 2012, 07:48 PM

Jubilee has much more stretch over oyster (at the same age)

MoBe · 19 January 2012, 07:53 PM

Looks good to me.

lyktestolpe · 19 January 2012, 10:01 PM
