In Response To: titanium bracelets ()

: Is the titanium bracelet on the Omega more (less?) likely to
: stretch out over time than the SS version? I have read
: conflicting reports about this issue.

Given the design of the Seamaster bracelets, I doubt either would stretch. The designs prone to stretching are the 'hollow loop' style links, like in the Rolex Jubilee bracelet.

But the Seamaster bracelet links are solid blocks interlinked by pins. If your watch is ever exposed to the amount of force necessary to stretch a solid block of either Ti or SS -- you will likely be much more worried about what is left of your poor arm than what happened to your watch bracelet.
