If you want to keep your watch, I'd replace the strap. As DP says, you've had your money's worth. And then some

Agree. Don't risk drop on the floor or lost on the ocean scenario.

The watch and strap were new in 2006 - J Series PAM 112. 11 years! Lots of water, chlorine, sea, sweat, etc. Definitely time for a new strap.
