Seamaster Bracelet Questions 1503/825

Hi folks,

I am beginning to notice that the pins in my bracelet are a little loose and are becoming rather easy to remove--specifically the ones that are used to adjust the band. One particular thing I noticed was the pin that connects the bracelet to the end link. Do the sleeves or tubes that slide inside the links wear out after a while? Should I replace all the tubes at some point? Also, are the pins and sleeves that connect the end links a different type than the ones used for the adjustment links? I also notice too that my end links are beginning to loosen a little. I guess the spring pins are bending a little? Would new spring pins solve the problem?

Thanks,
Brent S.
