The bracelet is from 1977 (B) but rickety. Must buy another, also swapped the lock.

Search Michael Young. My understanding is he can work wonders with restoring a bracelet. It's like a 2 to 3 month process and you'll never hear from him while he has it, but everyone who has used him in TRF swears by him. I myself have not, but remember many posts discussing his work and lack of communication.
