Before and after Michael Young fix on my 5513
It took only two weeks for MY to rejuvenate my 9315 band from my 1970 5513. The results are obvious and his communication was excellent throughout the process. Pretty amazing work!

I have the same band that needs new life. Sent him an email. How did you send it and how much should it be insured for?
Thanks

I'm in Vancouver and I sent it via Canada Post courier service with insurance at $1000 which was the most I could get. Cost for shipping including insurance was $90.

I just sent him my wife's jubilee a couple of weeks ago. USPS and insured for $2,000.00. He contacted me as soon as he got it.

Sent just the band. Get yourself a nice vintage leather band to tie you over while it's gone. I've really grown to appreciate the leather bands on the vintage watches.
