Moral Support

I just sent my 18k YG President band to Michael Young for restoration. He told me 8 weeks but I am planning on 12...

I appreciate all the posts on MY so I know it's worth it. But it's gonna be a Long three months :(

I hope you took some pics of the before and show us the after in 8 weeks.
Spend more time reading TRF and the time will pass fairly quickly.

He does great work from what I've seen, lots of satified customers. Good luck!

There was a thread of a member who send his YG President to MY.
That was for me the best $ 850.00 ever spend on a Rolex.
I was really surprised with the result !

Good luck
You'll have it soon back
About 3 months to go ;-)

Here are the pics
Cost : 1 beer for me and 1 for BeeMee ;-)

It should be worth it! How much do you think Michael could do a Two Tone Oysterlock Bracelet for?

Michael Young has been great. I heard back from him within 12 hrs of sending my first message about the service. And I also heard back today within a couple hours of sending my tracking info. People have complained about a lack of communication. That couldn't be further from the truth thus far. I've been impressed with him.

Michael does great work. He did an awesome job on a vintage TT jubilee bracelet for me. Looked very nice when returned.
