It's typically dirt and oils, rather than oxidation.  Give the bracelet as deep scrub with soapy water and see if it continues.

Hopefully it fixes the problem.  Those jubilee style bracelets are dirt traps and the factories they make them in aren't the cleanest places in the world.

Not a comment in the quality of course which is rather good but I imagine they don't really give them a good ultrasonic clean before shipping them out to you.

Might not be stainless steel... Could be base metal with a nickel coating..

Yeah it was cheap i think like $50. Gave it a scrub and seems to be doing better. I think if it continues  i might put it on a strap code bracelet.
