[bapsdds]

Hey Fellow Rolexers,

any experience with this place in Hong Kong :

sending a complete watch for mechanical servicing and restoring case and bracelets?

thx

[1675-David]

tip: try search feature ;-)

[chieftd]

Lots have used with great results. Search for threads to see before and after on his work. Cheers, Tim

Was very pleased with the work he did on my Jubilee bracelet

[HogwldFLTR]

He's mainly a bracelet person although he does full servicing. I'd use local talent for full servicing because if there are any issues frequent mail between him and the US is pricy and lengthy.

hes done bracelets for me in the past , great result , also serviced an old air king and did a dial swap , not so great.

service locally , send him the bracelet

He did an amazing job on my 16613 bracelet

Bunch of people here have used him before, including myself, and have been more than happy with the results.

Great work but sometimes slow communications (due to how busy he gets)

Cannot go wrong at any level with Michael Young... from someone who knows .

Send him the bracelet or band, then send watch head to Vanessa for service .. she is in California

Did anyone get slammed with custom's fees on return of their bracelet? I'm thinking of sending him my oyster bracelet to get fixed, but I'd like to know a ball park figure of how much it will costs outside of just the service fee.

I had the same experience. He made two attempts to fit the caseback gasket on my vintage AK, but it popped out at the side both times. I had to get another local watchmaker to fix it. This was around 2014, though, so things may have improved.

Nope. Some pics and info on the thread below.

does he finish the jubilee back to factory specs - high polished in the center, brushed/satin on the down the sides? if anyone has had it done, post some pics please.

Did great work on my moderately stretched 16610LV. My bracelet seems NOS now! I received this back this week and highly recommend.
