I've had 3 bracelets and 3 cases restored by Michael, and I agree that this proverbial basket-case Jubilee has made the most remarkable transformation of any I've seen. I personally would not have thought it possible based on the "before" pictures.

It's a scam, he sent you a brand new bracelet instead of the old one.
 (just kidding)

Absolutely amazing. That's one of the most worn out jubilee bracelets I've seen. What a transformation!

From what I've read Michael refills the link hole with gold and redrills and taps them. Then puts it back toghether, incredible amount of labor. I told my dad that's the only person I would send my watch to get polished or band restoration from
Beautiful restoration |

Thanks everybody for the kind words. John, I tried to arrange my schedule, but the meeting that was to take me to Dallas got postponed. I will make it to one of them sometime! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Also, cost for repair of the steel bracelets is much, much less (naturally), about $125 I think with return shipping.
