Just received my Submariner bracelet back from MY, was in need of some repairs from years of wear. I purchased the watch new in 1986 and passed it on to my son for his high school graduation in 2011, it was starting to worry me with all the stretch so I decided to send it off to MY, the results are amazing. Sorry for the lousy pics.

A magician for sure

Looks brand new! Curious, is that the original clasp? I noticed it is not two tone like the rest of the bracelet.

I’m sure it is. It came like that before it was changed to the current style where even the clasp was 2-tone. Can’t remember when it was changed though.

That is an original clasp. My old Sub is the same.

Yes, original clasp. Took about 6-7 weeks, $574 including shipping, the gold links were worn really bad and that is were the extra cost comes in, good for another 32 years.

Remarkable!

They redid my wife's 31 years old DJ Jubilee bracelet and it came back looking brand new.

Psmith · 14 November 2018, 05:13 AM

Great result

droptopman · 14 November 2018, 05:15 AM

MY is a class act. Great work and a cool guy. Had several bracelets refinished by him and always turn out great.

That looks awesome!

drm20 · 14 November 2018, 05:15 AM

Wow, that's amazing!

AJM914 · 14 November 2018, 10:01 AM

Would sending it to RSC also fix the bracelet as good as MY have?

RSC don’t repair bracelets. They will replace with a new one.

Looks pretty decent works.

How much does it cost? Does it lose significant weight?

fania123 · 14 November 2018, 10:10 PM

While the repairs look excellent I’m not sure how I feel about having them done. There was a lot of history to that watch that has now been erased. If it were my dads watch from new outside of a service and light cleaning I’d have probably left it alone.

I agree to a certain extent. He only had the bracelet refurbished. Which is a must imo. These bracelet's get so worn they can fail at any moment. The bigger lose would be a missing watch then some worn out links.

JohnAndrew · 15 November 2018, 03:53 AM

Beautiful work. He's definitely a craftsman.

Extremely worn pins can break, and sometimes the watch can fall from the wearer's wrist, and sometimes watches can even be lost because of this. I've heard stories...

cchris · 15 November 2018, 09:48 PM

I imagine it’s possible to ask MY not to polish or restore the visible bits if that was a concern. And only restore the internals ie pins and sleeves etc?

brandrea · 14 November 2018, 10:11 PM

I’m hoping Michael has someone in training who will take over the trade when he retires.

The guy does amazing work, no doubt

Jonnyj · 14 November 2018, 10:26 PM

Wow looks great !! I’ve heard he does awesome work !! It definitely shows how hood he is !
