Hi guys, just bought this bracelet for $ 200.00 on ebay. Was supposed to be in "very good condition". Well, it is clean, but the stretch....... Way too much, right?

grandmasterP · 29 October 2012, 01:00 AM

it looks good to me. I think you got a great deal

Vincent65 · 29 October 2012, 01:40 AM

200 bucks is good for that

Kiwinz · 29 October 2012, 03:41 AM

Heck yeah, that's a good price in this condition. They stretch/wear much worse.

Dan Pierce · 29 October 2012, 03:42 AM

Good buy.

$200 is fine

Micha · 29 October 2012, 03:50 AM

thank you guys, just do not have any experience with the Jubilees.....but for a regular SS bracelet, that would be too much stretch, right?

Czechman · 29 October 2012, 04:12 AM

That's not bad at all. Keep in mind that there are a lot of links in a Jubilee so just a tiny bit of wear in each link is going to add up quickly. Put it on your watch and take a picture for more positive comments. Also post a close up of the clasp so we can see the condition of the Rolex crown.

BTW, not sure if you've ever worn a Jubilee but they are VERY comfortable!

For $200, you did very well.

Don't worry.....we all stretch a little as we age.

i would give you $210 for it if you regret your purchase.

hnt1987 · 30 October 2012, 01:26 AM

i take that bracelet for you if u have any regret

oldbronco · 30 October 2012, 05:59 AM

I don't mind stretch because the bracelet flexes with my movements, which I find more
comfortable. it's the lack of flexing which I find uncomfortable in the modern 5mm thick
bracelets & straps.

springer · 30 October 2012, 09:53 AM

Nice score. The stretch does not look too bad and the price was very reasonable.

crowncollection · 30 October 2012, 10:03 AM

that stretch is not to bad

onkyo · 30 October 2012, 10:16 AM

You got a great deal. It is possible to tighten it up if it really bothers you.

mjclark32 · 30 October 2012, 10:23 AM

Not bad at all, especially for $200

Pav,

I am familiar with Michael Young's name and bracelet tightening. Have you used anyone in the US that you would recommend?

Well, for quite a few watches - that jubilee is the regular bracelet - and yours looks pretty fair. It will be comfortable to wear. If you are comparing to the oyster bracelet, that would be pretty loose as there are fewer links in the oyster - thus there would be more wear at each connection. I'd suggest using new spring bars and making sure your end pieces are nice and tight in the watch lugs when you install it - also, check the clasp for crispness. Either problem can be catastrophic if the bracelet parts when you least expect it. Luck!
