In the oyster perpetual and datejust watches well worn, the clasp and links take on strange shapes.
I've owned both models and never heard this before. Do you have a photo of this strange shape?

It’s more the older ones from the 80s, they had hollow links that would stretch and elongate, especially when they were gold. The modern jubilee bracelet uses solid links and they take a great deal of wear to stretch out like that

No.

How long have you had both watches? Do you use all the watches in your collection frequently?

I was not talking about that.

Yes, for example the hole in the clasp, in the president bracelets from the 90s, get loose.

Looks like an Explorer mixed with an Oysterquartz Datejust

That’s not a Rolex OP and DJ specific issue. Bracelet stretches overtime. All bracelets. It’s material engineering and physic issue.
