Bracelet stretch?

[watchnut]

I've been wearing my Daytona pretty much everyday for some time and I always wash it every few days. Try to work some non-oily type soap into the links and rinse it thoroughly. I like the new foaming type hand soaps as they seen to rinse off well. I was just thinking though, that the biggest concern I have about wearing it all the time is that the bracelet will get worn. I've seen some examples on here of bracelets that are extremely worn almost to the point of looking like a twist-o-flex. They seem to still hold the watch reasonably secure. Just wondered how many people have had an actual bracelet failure due to being worn out. This is an academic question I guess, because at my age I won't live long enough to wear one out I'm sure. That stainless steel is a lot stronger that my old bones.
