Yeah i dont buy them either, i still own one datejust on a jubillee but i do not buy them anymore as im contantly fretting over the stretch, it really starts to look unattractive after a while, the space becomes quite big giving it the spaced out teeth look. (OP yours is nowhere near this yet.) |

It is not overly stretched, I think there is a lot of life left in it.

It is not stretched enough to be worried about.

This wear is promoted by showering with your watch. Shampoo and soaps leave residue that attract abrasives

More links = more stretch. Somebody mentioned ceramic sleeves but I didn't think the new super jubilee had those?
In any case I think this just proves how important a proper cleaning regime is to make sure all the grit and grime are removed from the unseen places. I'd probably use an ultrasonic once every couple of months (they can be bought for a very reasonable price) and a proper clean monthly if I owned anything with a jubilee. |

I'd recommend buying an ultrasonic cleaner ASAP, I clean my president bracelet in one every few months, keeps the inner pins clean and bracelet is virtually stretch free!

I don't think that looks too bad. As I recall the jubilee bracelet on my 116200 looked more or less the same when it was brand new and hasn't changed in the sex years I've had it.

I have the super jubilee as well and it doesn't look anywhere as bad as that even after several years. That looks like the jubilee that came on the 5 digit DJ's.
Kind of disappointing because I've never seen the super jub stretch that bad and I was under the impression that they wouldn't stretch as much as the previous jubilees. I clean mine frequently with Wrist Clean and a fine toothbrush so hopefully it slows down the process.
