Bracelet 93150 work

Just picked this one up, it’s pretty worn so where’s the best place to get it restored these days, and can the finish be improved.

I’ve heard of Michael Young’s great work but don’t want to ship overseas.

edit:sorry those pics were terrible

Is the finish the only issue? If so, it's really not that hard a job.

Rolliworks must have me on their naughty list, last time I emailed them they didn’t get back to me. I did complain about the last job but I think I paid them for the redo.

I'll contact Rolliworks about this bracelet and see if I'm in the same boat.

Does it need to be tightened? It’s hard to tell from those pics. If it just needs to be polished/rebrushed, many watchmakers can easily do it.

I'm guessing someone polished them to look like 78760 links for a Yachtmaster.
Is that possible?

Yes of course they can be finished to a polished shine.
