Any one do laser welding on their bracelet before?
Hi,
Got a ding on my Rolex bracelet that is really bugging me. Any recommendations on which company or person can fix it? Any one can share some before and after? Sent from my Pixel 8 Pro using Tapatalk |

I sent it off to Rolliworks. It came out great and was fixed for a very reasonable price. |

Post a picture of this ding myself wore my 16600 SD for hundreds of hours underwater and bracelet got plenty of dings and scratches, but never had any welding done just routine polish RSC service.

Post a picture. If it’s a removable link you could just replace it. Or maybe something that can be polished out, bracelet less critical than case as far as keeping the shape intact.

I’ve done it before. Great success. I had a severe scrape and you would never know.

It would be a simple repair.

Laser welding has come a long long way. I have a gouge in a permanent link on my 16570. Otherwise in LNOS condition. I plan on having it laser welded in time. I wouldn't think twice.
