bracelet repair in sydney

Good morning everyone,

i have a question regarding bracelet repairers in Sydney, AU. i have seen some people on the forum have mentioned they have got the bracelet refurbished due to stretch, does anyone know one in Sydney?

i have worn this watch daily for the past 5 years since my 21st birthday. do you think the stretch is bad and is need of repair/polish?

The thing I want to know is you got this for your 21st birthday?

At 21 I didnt even have $300 to my name yet. LOL

Regarding the bracelet it will look brand new after once someone competent works on it.

Looks fine to me. Not enough to warrant disassembling imo.

It doesn't look too bad in the pics. However if you want to get it restored and don't find anyone satisfactory in Aus, contact Classic Watch Repair (Michael Young) in HK.
Alternatively, send the watch in for service (may be due anyway) and the RSC will polish everything to factory standard. They will also advise on the condition of the bracelet.
