Adventures in Band Repair (B4/After photos)

[ROLLiWORKS]

Yah this is our struggle at the moment. We're still chasing the volume to make it more practical. At some point we hope to work on 3-4 of the same type of bands at the same time in a more streamline workflow. Doing one then moving to another is not the way to go.

However, the complete bracelet you restored that took 9 hours...is that economical to do? Seems like it would be pretty expensive. But, I guess still probably worth it to the customer. I do mostly wholesale, so a job like that with a retail markup would probably be nuts.

Again great work! I haven't tackled any repairs this serious, mostly because the customers I have aren't willing to spend enough to repair them.
