Has anyone had experience with an RSC "tightening up" a bracelet, specifically on a DD President (YG). Were you happy ? How much of the dreaded "stretch" did they remove ? I called over to the Beverly Hills shop, and they said " a technician would have to look at it before proceeding".

Any comments would be appreciated, I am very hesitant to send anything to Hong Kong for fixin', ( I have read rave reviews on that fellolow Michael at classic watch). Or, if any one knows of an American shop that repairs bracelets, any word please?

Thanx,

Kevin

I just got a President in YG (circa 1987) but flawless and barely ever worn per RSC.
Per the bracelet and stretch- I too have wondered and am soooo careful not to apply any force to damage it. (True GMT at heart).
I have asked the same question and heard it can run upwards of $1000+ for the bracelet to be "unstretched".
More often than not I hear...."You can get a replacement bracelet from Rolex for $6k and just switch them". Not a course I would like to take.
I wish they would use SS pins to hold the bracelet together and not the 18ktYG. Perhaps steel would be stronger.
I will keep you posted if I hear anything more.
Try NOT wearing it when doing push-ups.....or clapping too hard.

The only thing I can tell you Kevin is this. We have some members here that have used all three RSC's in the USA. NY, Dallas and Beverly Hills. They all say that Beverly Hills does the best work.
