Do 15300/15400 bracelets "stretch"? (please post pics)
I'm in the market now for a pre-owned Royal Oak. I know the bracelets are constructed different compared to a Rolex Oyster bracelet - maybe more like the Jubilee bracelets?
In your experience, do all 15300/15400 bracelets come new from the factory with some "give"? Does it develop over time and become an issue like it is for the Day-Dates and Datejusts of the world? Or, are the bracelets a little "loose" but stay consistent for years and years? It would be great if a few current owners could post a pic of the side of the watch (while holding the case) to show how the bracelet hangs. Similar to this...  Thanks, guys!

The nature of jubilee bracelet do cause them to hang a bit. But I believe ro bracelets should not.

I think the RO bracelet should be more resistant than Rolex bracelets

No stretch on both of my 15300. The design of the bracelet will not allowed that given the butterfly clasp.

The jubilees to me always look "stretched" even when they are not. So i have a hard time telling with them what is ok and what isn't. |

I have seen a couple of RO bracelets that have very noticible stretch. Metal against metal will wear but I have yet to seen a RO bracelet that has come apart
