My jubilee how is it?
What do you think? Is it very worn? It's a Datejust 16234 of 1989

I think it got some life left to it, I’ve seen a lot worse! But Michael Young would make it like new!

Looks good. Jubilees are not as stiff as the Oyster bracelets.

"some"?! This is in great condition. It has LOTS of life left in it! :)

I wouldn't even think about sending it to MY for YEARS...

This bracelet does not justify a Michael Young reconstruction... very nice condition... another few decades of life at least...

Damn, that's not bad at all. This is my '85 DJ, which was a daily wearer until the end of 2016:

Looks like that is ready for a Michael Young restoration.

Agreed. I really don't wear it, but am thinking about sending it to Sand Hill, as I've read a couple of anecdotal stories on here about MY that make me a little cautious.
