Another Michael Young Satisfied Customer
I just got my band back from Michael Young who restored my Rolex DJ Jubilee bracelet. The watch and band are 35 years old and I have owned the watch since new. The only maintenance I have had on the bracelet was part of the factory service (once) and I think they only polished it. Prior to sending to MY I removed one of the screw on pins and it was seriously worn. The photos below show the difference in the band stretch. Well worth the price in my opinion. A little anxious sending my bracelet half way around the world (OH to Hong Kong) but would highly recommend it if anybody is considering it. Took just over 10 weeks.

Michael Young and his team at Classic Watch Repair are fantastic.
Congrats on getting a nicely restored jubilee bracelet! |

His work is remarkable. For $350 (including shipping) he totally rebuilt the bracelet. It is by far the best option to keep the watch original. Surprised the factory does not provide this service. A new bracelet is thousands.

Looks great! I'm glad we still have options besides "factory authorized service".

Looks great. I dropped my coke gmt off there last week for a case and bracelet restoration. Can’t wait for the results but it’s going to be a long 6 month wait!
They also have an amazing selection of watches for sale in store! |
