I guess the best way is to not wear it- so the second best way, then.

Bracelet stretch is from grit that acts as polishing compound and wears the inside surface and pins.
Putting the bracelet in an ultrasonic cleaner every three to four months will prevent bracelet stretch. It cleans where toothpaste and and brush can't. You can remove a pin and see the black grit, reinsert and brush it up and down it will still be there. Try the same procedure and after a few cycles in the ultrasonic it will be clean. An decent enough ultrasonic cleaner can be had on eBay for under $50.
