Wow that was fast! Congrats.

I got an email update from him yesterday. He expects to have it done in the next few weeks. Oval link jubilees are, expectedly, time consuming.

Big typo there folks...that should be Carnarvon not Caravon. Don't send your straps, etc to non-existent Caravon Road or they may well get lost.

Just arrived from HK yesterday and was able to personally visit Michael Young and showed him my stretched 1603 bracelet..i was ready to leave it there for a few weeks when he offered an already restored 1603 bracelet, so to save time we just swapped it out but i got my clasp since its in better condition and he gave me extra links for it and new springbars..he also recommended that i changed the 2 clasp because its corroded badly. He has some in his stash and i added around HKD 500 for it and USD for the bracelet. So total is USD 215, waited for about 1 hour and went out happy!. Maybe on my next trip i may consider replacing the dial and the plexiglass..

Good catch..... like you said its Carnarvon road. His website has a typo.

I just dropped off a few bracelets for repair the other week. Nice office and very friendly people. Can't wait to see the results. I will go get them next week.
