Should I be worried about broken stitching on the cuff of a leather jacket?

I just bought a used leather jacket which was in good condition overall. After receiving it I noticed there was one broken stitching at the cuff. Now I'm worried that the rest of the stitching will start unraveling. Has anyone here ever had this type of broken stitching on their leather jackets? How did it turn out over time? Here's a picture:

No, probably not - one broken outer stitch on mid- to high-priced leather jackets won't cause a problem. I have three jackets with a broken stitch and none has ever unravelled or lead to any deterioration at all. This is mainly due to the fact that there is internal stitching, too.
