Seadweller service and Michael Young
I took my seadweller (16600) to the RSC a couple of years to have the bezel insert changed. I was working local so left it with them to which they also changed the bar springs and cleaned the bracelet for free. I picked it up and paid and they had noted on the invoice that the bracelet should be replaced due to the stretch. I said I would think about it and ended up last year having Micheal Young repair it. The bracelet repair was brilliant, but I need to take it back to the RSC and get the watch service. Do you think as it recorded with them they will kick up about the repair or not notice. The cost of a new bracelet was about £1700.

Seadweller service and Michael Young

 Michael Young does bracelet repairs... "The bracelet repair was brilliant" said OP. I Asked to see MY's repair work.  OP: You may consider having the watch services at a CW21 Certified Watch Maker like Tom http://www.dstimeservice.com/ -It can be mailed with confidence, repaired and shipped back serviced.

The main point of my question is will Rolex service my watch and not quibble about the third party bracelet repair or not notice.

The best way to get it done, keep it as original as possible. I can't imagine it being an issue and if you're worried about it do what was suggested above and try send in just the head or something. I would love to see the actual process involved with his work.

Send it in without the bracelet, if you want to be safe (probably what I would do)

I'd say you'll have zero issues with the RSC. If the original braclet was repaired and not replaced with something non Rolex, shouldn't be an issue.
