Can a stretched RO bracelet be tightened?

Maybe it’s me not being able to use the search function in a proper way. I’ve read a number of threads regarding whether it is possible to “de-stretch”/tightening up a RO bracelet. However, I can seem to find a definitive answer on the subject. As I read it Michael Young can not but maybe AP can.

My questions: Is it possible to tightening up a RO gold bracelet or not? If so, do you have any pricing info.

Reason to my question is, I’m considering a gold RO with some stretch.

Thanks in advance.

Peter

Sire you can!
In Milan, Italy there is the Master, Roberto Lenti, if you search for him on FB look for for Roberto Toto Lenti.
He is the Best! He can overhaul your bracelet that will become like new.

Great thanks. Have you seen his work?

Does he have a company, or? I’m not on Facebook, so if you can share contact details it will be much appreciated.

Thanks, Peter

A RO bracelet is welded together and therefore very costly and hard to repair. I have not come across anyone that does it well for a reasonable cost.

There are some people that do it, i have one in Milan that did mine, not sure if he can work on steel, gold is easier.
