  • Put the bracelet back on the flags, though I don’t like the subtle tiny rattle between the links. Suppose even clamping the links one by one won’t end that, as it’s probably always had some play, and the rest will be from wear over the decades before my ownership...

    Interesting reading here about how it’s not stretch, and about steel tensile strength:

  • I’d agree with that thread as far as, say, modern Rolex oyster bracelets made completely from solid, machined blocks of stainless steel are concerned.

    Older style bracelets with folded centre links (like a Seiko SKX jubilee) can definitely stretch, though.
