Certainly doesn't appear to be in danger of disintegrating and causing an actual problem. Has a lot of patina, which only you can decide if you like or not. I suppose another thing to consider would be what is the state of service on the watch itself? If, for example, the watch has never been serviced then a complete RSC makeover may be dollars well spent vs just focusing on the bracelet. They won't go in and tweak the fitment of the links like a RolliWORKS will, but they will polish/brush the exterior pieces (if you choose) to certainly make it look dramatically newer. And of course a clean bill of health on the movement is always a good thing.

What you are showing us is not bad wear at all.
It has a ways to go before it gets very bad.

Thank you all for your comment's !
It's been six years since last service and i guess it's time and lately I've been noticing how the band is a little bit "wobbly" on my whirst, guess i should blame the wear on the linkings etc. Last question if i may: Rough estimate of service (overall+new original spring) and the rebuild band ? **I've read that it's recommended to overall the band (Rolliworks as mentioned) before the wear becomes too aggressive because then it making it more challenging and pricey job and the results not that good comper when it's done prior massive wear, then the results is better and long lasting... please share your personal experience It's about to be the first service in the u.s.a and your help and shared knowledge is highly appreciated Last edited by Jonathan-watch; 7 March 2021 at 12:12 PM..
