I'm considering purchasing the plain gold Serpenti Viper bracelet. Has anyone had this for a year or longer and can comment on the wear and tear? I tried it on at the boutique and was impressed with the flexibility. However, I'm concerned about stretching and warping over time. Any input would be appreciated, as this would be a huge purchase for me. Thank you!

I would ask Bulgari that question about stretching & if the bracelet does stretch is it repearable
I own several Bulgari Tubogas bracelets as well as the Tubogas watch, but I do not wear them daily

I have the ring for over 10 years and never had a problem.
 
I bought the plain rose gold bracelet in size small today! My lovely SA said that she has 1 client who wears hers 24/7 with no problems and that she’s never had a client have issues with stretching or warping. I was also pleased to hear that Bulgari can fix these bracelets if something happens to stretch or warp; if New York can’t fix it, it will go back to Rome. Thank you for your input and encouragement!
 
I have a bracelet with diamond at the head and tail and the gap seems bigger than when I purchased. I only have it like less than a month and wear less than 5 times. is this normal?

I think it's not uncommon. SA told me the coil inside is strong, made of titanium. I think it's strong by the sense that it will not break easily. However being a thin/soft metal, it will still "expand", though i read that yours is pretty new. Maybe you can check with bvlgari? By the way i recently got to know a lady who has the same piece and hers also has the gap which got bigger compared to brand new but hers is ~ 1.5yrs old.

Thanks for your response Purrsey. I'm worried that the gap will go bigger as I take my jewelry off every day. I'll check with a Bvlgari SA about this.. hope this is not a defective piece.

I have a tubogas serpenti bracelet and a viper ring, both with diamonds, a couple of years old. I wear the bracelet frequently and remove daily without any change. I thought the ring stretched a bit, but it turns out it was bc I lost a bit of weight. It actually did not change.
