My Michael Young experience (Women's jubilee)

So I know there are several threads about work that Michael Young has done, but I thought I would share my experience. I sent my wife's TT Jubilee band to him on February 7th, and he received it on February 16th (I selected the slow international shipping).

He quoted me for time and cost and the repair was finished on March 11th. Once I paid him ($228 including shipping), he shipped the band. It came today, and I don't think it could be much better.

Before pictures are from the TRF seller that I bought the watch from, and the after pictures were taken today.

I have to agree that Michael Young does some great work. I sent him my bracelet off my 1980 Tudor Snowflake back at the first of the year and when I got it back I was Very happy. I have to admit I was Very skeptical sending it off to HK for service but MY was very professional and answered my emails and even phone calls with questions. Any bracelets in my future will be going to him without question. Quality, Professional, and fair pricing!

Wow, what a difference! He did a jubilee for my a while back and I was surprised how fast he turned it around.

Took nearly 3 weeks by USPS to get to Michael. My fault.

Despite him suggesting it might take 6 to 8 weeks to turn it around, it only took 2 weeks. It just arrived back a few minutes ago.
