Looks good to me. My DJ41 does the same thing when it curves over the wrist bone like that. Beautiful watch, enjoy!

Hmm, the bracelet looks fine. Save your 2k (or however much a new bracelet costs). Also, if wearing such a watch causes such stress, I think is better you don’t wear it. Life has enough worries as it is.

your bracelet is fine. the links are small so they more noticeably follow the contour of your wrist, which isn't a perfect cylindrical shape.

Probably not but i’d explore getting it fixed. (If it is truly broken) Have someone else try it on and see how it looks. Maybe it’s your uneven wrist that’s making it look wonky lol.

Dude, sell the watch. You're wound way too tight (pun intended) for an expensive watch.
In the meantime, take a diazepam and fill the chuck out. The bracelet is fine.

Feel sorry for his friend.

OP, aren’t you glad you came here and asked about this?

Good news is there are plenty of other watch forums you can post on to screw you up even further.

The best advice was already posted, take it to an AD for an inspection, which you rebuffed for some reason.

So, down the rabbit hole you go…regardless, there is nothing wrong with the bracelet.

It will fit around your wrist accordingly, it’s on top of your wrist bone

Did you at least compare the new bracelet with the old?

Had my suspicions but this confirms its a troll post. You would have ordered one not bought one, no mention of how much it cost and most importantly I can't believe anyone would make such a laughable decision.

On the tiny percent chance it is true, I genuinely would sell it (no sarcasm this time), the thing is gonna drive you crazy. Also feel sorry for your friend, its completely illogical, the bracelet is fine.....Like me saying - My friend was over last night and dropped a pillow on my floor, I am sure the concrete floor has a slope to it now, I am going to get it re-laid.

There is no way the metal will give just because the bracelet was worn tight on someone's wrist. It's fine.

Agree. AD's don't generally have Jubilee's sitting around for sale, they aren't parts houses.
