Michael Young watchmaker extraordinaire
So I been on this forum for years but have always been a lurker. Most recently got my Datejust serviced and bracelet restored by Michael Young. It did cause some anxiety being shipped there, shipped back, and it being an international transaction/job there was some concern about recourse if things didn’t go as intended. But “Wow” was I impressed. The timeframe was met and quote was on point. I would highly recommend for anyone needing bracelet restoration to go this route. Craftsmanship is AMAZING!

I had to make 9 more posts to include links. ����*♂️ Is the only way of posting pictures is through Imgur.com or through an alike website. I been on number of websites like this and had never had any issues posting my iPhone pictures on the forum directly…
Well here it is. https://imgur.com/a/eXmI4Vr |

Bracelet looks fantastic. Did he change the bezel?

That’s just a very normal bracelet restoration that can be done by an ordinary watch technician

That's an easy fix, the bracelet is just washed and cleaned in a weak viagra solution.

Michael Young is the best for bracelet restorations. There aren’t many options out there for this type of restoration. Cleaning the bracelet won’t tighten the links back up again

Thanks for the compliments and yes it is a new bezel. And for those that state that this is an ordinary fix… really? I’ve heard of a few places that do this type of service but MY seemed to have the biggest following. But again it’s skewed as it’s limited to other posts on the internet. Well I’m glad I did it through him and it really brought the watch back to life. Just wanted to share my experience. ��
