Ive got a TT Submariner 2002 model, in great shape except for some degree of bracelet stretch....why does this happen with metal pins, does a service address this, and if not what can be done about it short of a new bracelet....

It's not really stretch, it's wear caused by grit grinding down the pins and inner link surfaces.

Regular cleaning will go far to reduce this.

How much stretch does yours have? A reasonably well cared for watch from ~2002 should have very minimal signs of wear.
