Is my 16570 bracelet calling Michael Young?
I have this A serial 16570 which I've got sometime back. I love the comfort and ease of the bracelet. I don't think it needs any repair as of yet but I don't want to spoil it as well. Do you guys think this one needs to go and meet Michael Young? Will it help bracelet to become 'young' once again?
If you guys think, it can work well for sometime more, I can probably wait for another year or two and then send it. Let me know, Thanks. |

If it's not ready to go it's getting close.

Might as well. For the cost its worth it to have the watch looking like it should.

He had a measurement of when it is good to go, can't recall what, but maybe a thread search will bring clarity.

Adam told me on my thread to shoot him an email with some pics of the bracelet and I did. Michael will let you know if he thinks you should send it in or not.

My A series bracelet was similar to yours. Along with servicing the watch head at RSC, I sent my bracelet to MY. We'll see which comes back first. A brand new bracelet costs 8x the price compared to restoration

It's pretty much a split decision if you ask us...the real question is going to be, does it bug you?

Thanks every for the response. As this is split decision and also I don't find it bad to wear and actually very comfortable, I'd still around for some more time and then send in later. Anyways, its going to meet Michael Young sooner or later!
