Gen jubilee stretch

[Mysharona]

I just picked up this 1979 jubilee bracelet on the bay for 3 bills. Is there too much stretch here. Should I keep it or return it?

To me that is a lot of stretch. I like a little stretch but that is too much for me.

There is a guy that gen owners send their bracelets to for stretch repair. His name is Michael Young. It sounds like the cost is $120 to $150 to fix it. Factor that into your price to determine if you got a good deal or not. Personally, that's too much for me.

It looks like a bicycle chain. 

 

One alternative for 'Non Purists' is using a genuine clasp and hoods with a high quality jubilee bracelet.

Stretch, as long as there is no visible wear on the individual links, does not bother me. If the bracelet fits & looks/feels good on your wrist, wear it?
