Michael did a terrific job Ed. I'm sure you're very happy to have it back on your wrist. Enjoy it!

Sam Crow · 10 January 2016, 01:58 AM

Congrats, looks great and awesome watch BTW. Michael restored the jubilee on my 1675 and I couldn't be happier!👍

Wow, that bracelet looks fantastic...it looks brand new!

Michael has the genes of a magician, a wizard and a ninja. I wonder if he can do the same to my father-in-law's wonky left shoulder.

Congrats!

This is from the email I got from Michael:

"The price for the band restoration is USD180 for steel bands plus return EMS/Fedex postage USD33^ and (optional insurance for 2% of desired insured value). PAYMENT via PayPal when done."

Adam quoted you with a link inside this thread.

Al gave us a link which pretty much explains the whole process.

Nice job done!

Rags · 10 January 2016, 07:40 AM

Beautiful job. Michael Young does amazing work.

Porter · 10 January 2016, 07:56 AM

Amazing! A few days ago had a conversation about tightened bracelets. Bad experiences in the past a few weeks later received the bracelet ( Not from Michael ) the links started to dance again and getting worse.
Would be great if you can tell us if the bracelet is still tightened after few weeks daily use!! I would be very grateful!! I have my 16570 bracelet nearly dead and the idea to restore it would be nice!!
Thanks in advance!!

I'm depending on my OCD and ultrasonic cleaner to keep my new watches tight but my 1803 will most likely be taking a HK vacay in the near future.
