You could probably make some good customers from that!

Incredible work!
That's a very intense job and we have done it a couple of times. It takes 12 weeks since the Links are resleeved and the gold pins are replaced. They come come out looking like new, and solid as heck. Depending on the state of the band and the number of links that job is roughly about $1000. Still better than paying premium for a new one or half the Premium for a used one that will eventually end up looking the same way.

it's kind of you to say that. I'm sure, as well as you are, that when Subby comes back Platty will be begging for wrist time. How about double wristed thread when it comes back?

I always enjoy your posts. You do great looking work, and your detailed pics and explanations show the meticulous care that you exercise when you work your magic.
