Slack in BOR bracelet

Good morning.

I recently picked up a 1969 166.010 with a BOR bracelet. It's a used watch obviously.

My modern (2019) Seamaster bracelet is near straight when I hold the watch horizontal. Not so with the BOR. When I asked the seller about it, he claimed that the bracelet was designed "saggy".

Is that true? I don't have much experience with older watches. I don't want to be a jerk to the seller, but I don't want to be taken advantage of either.



thanks in advance for the advice.

Ditto. I’d call that very little stretch. No worries at all.

Thank you, gents. Then I'm very happy with my purchase.
