I've seen his work, and it is no doubt great stuff, but is he the ONLY person doing this kind of thing? Is there anyone in the US doing anything resembling what he is able to produce?

I've sent one bracelet to MY and the results were great - the bracelet looked new. One thing to keep in mind is that the bracelet will come back tighter. Mine had grown very loose with stretch so it was just right on its return.

Does customs impose a duty on incoming bracelets from Hong Kong?

You will be amazed at the result, I have been dealing with Michael for a long time now and I'm quite often gobsmacked with what I receive back, he does a lot more than just bracelets, my vintage collection would not be as good without his services.

Do it. My mom priced one for the TT DJ she got in 86 and it was 6x what the watch cost. Bracelet will be heading to him soon.

This is the first bracelet I have sent Michael but have been a big fan of his for many years here on The Rolex Forums.
