I'm about to make a purchase but before I do, I wanted to see if anyone thinks this bracelet can be saved or if it's just not worth saving. Maybe a lot of Cape Cod polishing and refinishing??

Just do a search in forum or on the net for Michael Young,he can restore that bracelet almost like new.

joe100 · 20 April 2016, 08:13 PM

It's severely scratched. I don't know if it's worth buying or not. I don't want a bracelet with that many scratches lol

MY will restore it, no problem. There is that one gouge though....

gwalker · 20 April 2016, 09:06 PM

Scratches arent that bad for an old watch. MY will fix that up fine.

That is the wrong clasp for the a two-tone Sub or GMT....I'd have the watch opened up and ensure the movement is Rolex...may be a Frankenwatch with Rolex parts, but a franken none the less.

Check out the sales section here on TRF before you buy too!

Yes indeed

It can be saved and restored - The one link looks a little suspect so a little due diligence would be advised.

Careful. The 93153 bracelets came with that clasp from the factory.

Bracelet will need some laser welding which will replace metal that has been eroded away. I have same bracelet on my 19 year old Bluesy. Michael Young is the man who can restore it to almost as new for hundreds as opposed the thousands for a new bracelet.

Exactly. SS clasp for the two tone bracelets.

Well...sure.

The question is, do you want to take it on as a project or do you want something in better condition you can wear right now?
