Rolex Stretch - UK Based Repairer?
Does anyone have first-hand experience of a UK watch guy who is good at fixing stretch in a 16570 (Oyster EXPII) bracelet.
It has a fair amount of stretch and I'd like to get it fixed before it gets too bad. I know Michael Young in Hong Kong is the king at this, but really want someone in the UK who can do it Any recommendations? Many thanks in advance Mark |

I believe that Michael Young will still be your best bet.
From what I've read here on TRF he invented the equipment he uses to disassemble a band, and I doubt you are going to find that level of expertise anywhere else...

Hmmm. Guess I'll be finding a nice leather nato for my dad's old DateJust when it's repaired then. Will be a while before I spring to send a Jubilee over to Hong Kong!

It's really not a big expense...
His prices and the shipping are very fair for the work product. |

As a M.Y. Very satisfied customer, send it to Hong Kong and sleep well. It will return perfect.
