    Hello all,

    Hope you're surviving the strange cooped-up-at-home times.

    Quick questions for anyone about a 1469 bracelet...

    I bought a Speedy Reduced on eBay a week or so ago - arrived last weekend and I've been really enjoying it.

    First thing I did was to remove the bracelet as I just don't get on with them. Skinny wrists. And they make me feel like a ten year old playing dress up with his dad's watches. Or like Chandler being forced to wear a gift from Joey (niche reference).

    Watch now on a lovely leather strap, and looks fab.

    So, I'm going to list the bracelet and end links on fleabay with a 99p start and see what it goes for.

    I'm happy photographing and describing the general condition, but my research into bracelets has thrown up the questions of stretch and pin wear, and I'm really not sure how to assess or describe this... I don't know how a stretched bracelet would look or feel...

    So my questions are:

    1. How to assess stretch?
    2. Are there any photos I should be including on top of the ones attached here? I tried to show how much lateral bend it has - no idea if that helps!
    3. Anything to include in the description to aid with sale?

    Thanks for your time, and for the endless distractions of this wonderful forum!

    Simon

    FYI, here it is on its leather strap. I really need to polish that crystal!
