Got my 1665 back in Jan but the bracelet majorly bothering me - too much stretch & a lose end link. It was stamped 73 & original to watch so decided to refurb rather than replace

After much research - choice was Michael Young in HK

Email to Michael with photos
Confirmation received I was to send to him
Bracelet removed & posted off
Confirmation once it arrived
Approx 6 weeks later email back what had been done & bracelet on way

Very pleased with the job indeed. Can't recommend the experience enough

Looks great.
He is the man for the job.
I have sent him 4 bracelets over the years, and all have come
back looking wonderful.
He is a magician.

Michael is better in restoring bracelets than in e mailing...
Just send it of with a copy of the mail you sent him and everything will be ok.... you'll get it back within 2 months in like new condition.
MY will contact you before he ships and after you paid

Good luck

Is there no concern that the bracelet is not in original state once it's been repaired by Michael? If a dial is touched up or an insert is changed it certainly affects originality so do bracelets not count?

Beautiful SD. MY does such exceptional work.

It should be clearly disclosed in a sale. The buyer will decide what it's worth.
