18k president bracelet restoration
Hi everyone, i have been shopping around for companies that restore the 18k president bracelet and the best i seem to have found is http://braceletservice.com in denmark. The founder peter sounds a great honest punctual individual, which fills me with confidence. Has anyone else used this service? Ive been quoted €2,000 (euros) which is reasonable. Any input would be appreciated, thanks again

He restored a two tone oyster bracelet for me, took about 6 weeks and looked like new!

Hi everyone, a quick update... i have emailed michael young on three seperate occasions. Still no reply, this is not a good insight for the business in my eyes. I know he does a great job, i just feel customer service is as important as the watch/bracelet service. For this reason i am sticking with peter at braceletservice.com. since emailing peter i have been in good contact, he took his time out to personally call me to.explain what he covers etc. Very nice polite man who is not shy to contact you. This gives me more confidence than michael in all honesty, plus he is closer. I will still keep everyone updated as i have seen his previous work and have no doubt my bracelet will be looking 10/10 when i get it back. Thank you everyone your all amazing as always :)

My President was done by Goldschmiede Beste in Winterberg.
Not only the stretch removed but also the hollow capped bracelet filled with 18K gold, added about 25 grams of gold. Very nice people and true craftsman ship.  Tool copy.JPG PresBack.JPG

Super excited to find this thread about Michael Yung
I just started a thread looking for this guy. Should have searched before clogging up the forum. Happy to hear the experience with him has been positive |

Have you used www.braceletservice.com / www.classic390.com / Peter Grossmann? We struggle to find people who have, and the OP seems to have gone silent. |
