Jubilee Stretch (1988)

I bought my fiance a Rolex 2 Tone DJ Jubilee in March 2019. It is a wedding gift for next weekend!

I kept the secret all this time and went to go check on my watch which has remained hidden last week and am a little panicked.

It could be just me, but I feel like I stretched the watch!

I took out the links and placed it on it's "holder" in the box which seemed very tight once I snapped it on.

Is it just ME or can the watch been stretched if it sat for so long strapped so tight?

I did some research and it appears stretch is only from wear and tear and being loose.

WOULD LOVE YOUR OPINION. THANK YOU!

You cannot stretch your watch bracelet.

Jubilee bracelet won’t stretch stored under tension of a pillow or foam block in a watch case. Movement and a dirty bracelet will.
