Value for one. Also, it's a good indicator of how quickly it is wearing over time. And, it's a good indicator of how soon it will need to be rebuilt before it falls off your wrist.

Spring bars and clasp pins fail quicker than the pins holding the bracelet links together. bearing in mind each link piece has 2 pins holding them together both pins have got to fail to allow the bracelet to split apart ;-) Its rare . Just a common sense inspection of your bracelet from time to time is all that is required especially if it is very old and stretched. or have it examined by a professional like myself or other bracelet specialists .

That is what I need it for. What I also liked was the thickness gauge for the links themselves.

65% condition Oyster very stretched. We see plenty in the 70-80% range. We’ve worked on a few newer style Jubilee band with the solid links. We will snap photo of the next one we work on. All work done in the good ol’ U.S. of A. |

Most of these weren’t looking too hot either but yes Oyster Bands come in with stretch issues.

Looking forward to seeing a solid jubilee! All solid jubilee, oyster and presidents would be nice to see. I have come across a few quite worn solid oysters that some people here seem to think will last a lifetime. Though none that had been so worn that I think it is risk of its structual reliability.

We even see solid end pieces with stretch and tears. Bands with solid links can experience the same issue x 40. The bore holes start off as circles and can become oval shaped with pressure and friction. Then it becomes our job to fill with new steel or gold and drill to make round again. More work with solid anything in most cases.
