Bracelet stretch on Royal oak?

Curious if folks have any stretch on their bracelets? Here's my Royal oak - purchased in 2018. How do yours look?

I don’t think it’s significant. However I’ve wondered if the pins on the RO bracelets are ceramic or steel

Quite sure they are steel pins.

That doesn't look bad, pretty close looking to my 2 month old RO.

I don't see much stretch there at all. Just the weight of the clasp. I think RO bracelets are less prone to stretch because of the integrated design. I haven't seen any pics of those stretched out jubilee bracelets with the older ROs.

Yeah that's a good point about the clasp. Was just curious though for folks who have owned their ROs for much longer if they've observed any stretch or changes to the integrity of the bracelet or not!

Looks fine personally. About the same as when I lay my 2 month old and 11 month old RO on the night stand crown down.

I haven't seen any stretch on my 15500, not sure if it matters, but the bracelets on the 15400 / 15500s are thicker than the 15202s and the older ROs. I wonder if the pins are different (thus also thicker and resulting in less stretch).

Never noticed an issue with the one I had which was from the early 00s.
