I just posted picture of my Colt Chrono in the picture section. I have a bracelet question. I recently purchased a pre-owned 2010 model. The one thing I noticed is the spacing between the links. It is more pronounced in the pictures because the black pad I used to hold the watch was extremely tight. Is this normal or do I have excessive stretch in the bracelet?

My other post was showing the recent brushed finish to the beacelet and case.

That looks OK to me. You will get some stretch, but that doesn't look too bad. If it's only on the pad for storage then it might be worth leaving it undone so it's not under as much stress.

Thanks for your input. I was just using the pad for picture purposes. If I store the watch I will most likely just put it on the shelf in my safe.

As Roff said, it looks fine. My understanding is the Pro 2 is much less prone to stretch than the Pro 1, which was notorious for it.
