Michael Young snubs his nose at Rolex in this area.
Here is an excerpt from Rolex's 10 step service found on page 6. It's printed on their website and shows what you get when you send your watch in for their service.
It's a cost prohibitive for them train and pay technicians to repair bracelets that will end up costing more than a replacement. It's completely reasonable to me that they would not want any part of this task when they can pull a new one off the shelf.

They don't need a loss leading service, leave it up to the small entrepreneurs to start a cottage industry like MY has. JMHO
