Indeed. I am a terrible photographer--ask my wife--and the iPhone doesn't help matters. Here is the picture from the dealer site when I bought the watch.

That stretch is not so bad. You can get along without replacing the bracelet at this point, I think. Do the endlink swap as we've discussed and consider minor adjustments to those end links. You can start looking for new/NOS end links and bracelet if you want it to be really perfect. Looks like a great watch!

Thanks; will do. I'll also replace the spring bars with these.
