Can this bracelet be repaired?

Both of these DJ have been through the ringer. I wore the SS for 15 years everyday...the 2 tone even more. Can these bracelets be repaired? The 2 tone seems to be in worse shape than the SS, but would like them both brought back. Thoughts? I've read on here Micheal Young does great work.

Everything I've seen / read about stretch tells me it can be fixed. The pins are what gets worn out if I'm not mistaken.

Thank you, they are nice pieces. The SS has a small chip in the crystal at 12 from a drunken night with some friends. I've never replaced it because it was a fun memory, and boy have I made memories wearing that watch. The 2 tone was my dads, his 1st nice watch he was able to finally afford when I was a kid. I grew up seeing him wear it, and even though I rarely wear it, I will always cherish it. I was just thinking of restoring the bracelet back to its glory days.
