S/S vs TI bracelet.. which is prone to stretching?

hello guys,


between the two which is more prone to stretching? Im just wondering since i have bother S/S and TI bracelet..

i know cleaning regularly will prevent the wear and tear.. Just want to know since.. we all know TI is more susceptible to dings and dents compared to S/s

The style of the bracelet has more to do with it - which bracelets in particular are you wanting to compare?

With its hollow construction, the bracelet on the 16800 will be most prone to stretch, although it won't be as bad as a Jubilee bracelet from the same period, for example. Bracelets on the Sub C and Pelagos are both solid link, so stretch should be a minimal issue

I would say this is correct.

The bracelet you do not properly maintain (clean/ultrasonic...etc) will be more prone to stretch.
