who can tighten a stretched bracelet
Does anyone know who tightens stretched bracelets? I seem to recall there was some guy in Hong Kong or somewhere near there who worked magic on old stretched out bracelets and made them tight again. I just got a 910 flightmaster with its original 1159 bracelet & deployant but as you can see in the pics, the bracelet is quite stretched out.

Michael Young is the man that makes Rolex bracelets look new again. Not sure if he works on other brands but you can ask him. Fyi...I've heard it may take him awhile to return emails since he's in such high demand.

Gents, thank you so much! I appreciate the info about Mr Young. I think, however, I'll go with the guy from North Dakota... Despite Mr. Young's claim that he is located in the "heart of the watch mecca ; Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong." we - of course - all know the real watch mecca is Fargo.

You won't regret sending it to MY. Just do a search here and you'll find all kinds of pics of his work. It's really quite amazing the way he brings tired old bracelets back to life.

Thanks. Just emailed him today and am getting the bracelet packaged up tonight in anticipation of hearing back from him. The bracelet was also highly polished so I've asked him to restore it back to original brushed finish as well.
