Evaluating watch bands
While browsing around for used watches online I see images like this. I知 guessing it demonstrates the condition of the band.
My question is: what do you look for in pictures like these? I only have seen pictures holding the band in this way while looking at Rolexs. |

How much it hangs down and gaps between the links.

It gives you a good indication of the wear on the bracelet.
Renewing a Rolex bracelet is costly

brand new Rolex bracelets should not hang at all - it should stay perpendicular to the ground. The more it hangs, the more wear you have on the pins and links. Worn bracelets are not pleasant to wear. Enough wear will cause the band to break.
If someone has a scan of a well worn pin, please post it. I probably have some somewhere - just need to find them. |
