Does my Datejust 16234 Jubilee bracelet have stretch?

Just like what the title says, does my DJ 16234 jubilee bracelet have stretch? I did wear it tight years ago but it wasn't worn much. I've owned this watch since new. I later bought new links from local dealer, and added on. I don't wear the watch much since I daily my Sub C. Thanks guys!

For what it's worth try hold the band parallel to the ground; you can better see (or is your photo rotated?). Hold it like so. If that is how you held it than I'd say it's fine.



Mine has more than I'd like. Also yours seem in much better shape.

I try to keep all 3 pieces clean and wind them up. The Sub C i use the most (Daily), Daytona for special occasions and the DJ sometimes on the weekends. It's in excellent condition, could use a service though. Before the Varaet cleaner I use to use regular soap and water. Now I use the cleaner with a soft watch brush to clean between the links and everything else.

That photo doesn't demonstrate any stretch at all. There will always be some slack or it wouldn't work.

Looks good. Very similar to my 16234, which I have owned for over 10 years. Bought it brand new.

The fact that you clean your watches (regularly, it sounds like) has definitely helped to keep the amount of stretch to a minimum. Looking at your pic, your jubilee bracelet looks nearly perfect.
