Michael Young Restored Jubilee

I sent it on 4-8-13 and received it back today. Pretty amazing what Michael Young can do for $208. I had no problems getting in touch with him and he provided a tracking number for delivery. I am very pleased with the outcome.

Looks great! Sweet looking 2 tone gmt.

I'm jealous, as my jubilee should be hear any day now from him.

Hi Justin your band looks great please update us on if the links have weaken at all or if you had any problems with the work Michael has done?..

A lot of people are wary about sending there expensive watch bracelet to Hong Kong how likely are you to recommend the work from Michael Young.

I can also attest to some excellent service from Michael. My old TT jubilee (1601 DJ) looks brand new again. I don't have any pics to show you, but it was worse than the OP's - with one broken YG hoop and few others deformed. The 'after' condition of the bracelet is just like the jubilee above - bright and tight! There was no problem sending it via USPS directly to Michael's PO Box in HK. I would certainly use him again when the need arises and would highly recommend him to all!

Wow! Wish RSC would provide a similar service. They were going to charge me 3.4 grand for a new TT jubilee bracelet instead of just replacing the missing gold end link piece. I did the sensible thing and declined.
I will most definitely consider this, after the watch gets back

Before and after

Michael quoted me an 8-10 week turn time but got it in more like five. Used an Esslinger $20 band in the meantime. Good enough but it's great to have my band back. I'm very satisfied with the price ($180usd + $28 shipping), great communications as well. Thanks for all your endorsements, I wouldn't have has the courage to send my bracelet out of the country otherwise!
