I've also posted this on another Breitling forum and would like to see if anyone here can help or comment.

After a few days on the winder I decided to give my Super Avenger some wrist time when I noticed that a links appears to be tarnished. What I mean is there are two very thin lines going across the width of the center link of the bracelet. I can only describe it as a copper shade thin lines located 3 links from the 6 o'clock lugs. Its not the typical scuff you would expect on a stainless steel bracelet.

The watch is less than 4 months old and just the thought of having to send it in for service is driving me nuts. I'm wondering if Breitling via the AD would simply replace the bracelet for me.

Any thoughts?

Did you try polishing it off with like a cape cod cloth or something similar?

I highly doubt they will replace a bracelet for oxidation.. unless it is in fact defective. Stainless steel is not rustproof... oxidation CAN develop in moist environments.
