Michael Young of Hong Kong

[rolly_olly]

Hi

Is anyone here familliar with a fella called Michael Young from Hong Kong? Apparently he is well known in the Rolex scene, and is one of only a handfull of people worldwide who is able to restore a gen rolex bracelet. By restore I mean he is supposed to be able to fix a snapped bracelet and also repairs stretched bracelets. He is also quite cheap.

The reason I ask is I have just bought a gen 1603 and the bracelet is quite stretched, and I would rather get it repaired than fork out £3-400 for a replacement. However I can't seem to find him by googling his name, so I am hopeing someone here will know of him and have his contact details.

Thanks

No problem brother. Glad to help.

Just so you know, for next time, he's also the very first search result if you add Rolex to the query.

I think you could search him on watchuseek as well, seems I heard his name a while back and there were good reviews of his work... good luck!

Thanks Bronzy,
I've sent an email off to him to see what he can do.

oh yeah, I've heard of him, mainly from WUS. He's got a strong opinion on anything less then pure vintage. Yes, his work is really top notch, but he's like a restorer of vintage Aston Martins, not VW beetles.
