Can this be fixed on DD bracelet?

Hi
Can the stretch in this bracelet be fixed and restored to close the gaps between links?

Yes, like new.
Costs are a lot cheaper than buying a new one.

Goldschmiede Beste in Winterberg is top notch. They did two for me. Very nice people.
Check out their website.

It used to be about $1K USD at Classicwatchrepair. Now they request an email to give a quote. I'm not certain what the current price is.

I used a shop in Hatton Garden last year, they charged £400 on a gmt jubilee bracelet, they did say it would be more for a President bracelet but I didn’t get an exact quote
