Does Rolliwork sharpen over polished crown logo on bracelet clasp?

I did nave my TT oval link bracelet refurbished by Rolliworks. Lost about an inch in length. I kept most of the gold links which could have been replaced at like $20 each but decided to only replace those that were really worn. Quite a few still have notches in them as you can see in the second pic.

Looks good. I really like the rootbeer. I can't seem to find one that I like. I'm probably too picky.

If you actually search the history of comments on this blog, Rolliworks has jad its share of problems. Ask me how I know.

I paid about $1600 bucks for 18238 bracelet job, but it came back looking like it did before I sent it. My bracelet looks like the before and after photos in this thread, EXECPT "after looks the same as before". This was about 3 years ago.

Quite a few complaints in the forum.

Girlfriend sent her bracelet in including the end links, but came back without them.

Pulling teeth to get satisfaction.

Sent my DJI Oyster bracelet to Rolliworks for polishing about two months ago and it came back a few weeks later looking good as new - very pleased!

Just had some work done by rolliworks on my 1970's non-quick datejust

I came to this forum a few months ago specifically looking for reviews of Michael Young and Rolliworks and thought that I would share my experience.

After reading the reviews I originally decided on sending the watch to Michael Young in China to save some money but the watch was returned to me after being in USPS limbo for 2 weeks due to issues with the customs declaration. To make a long story short I would have had to re-ship and declare a lower value to get it through. I wasn't willing to do that because of potential issues with any insurance claim if the watch gets lost. The watch has major sentimental value to me as it was my fathers watch, given to me as a graduation gift almost 40 years ago. I'm sure he would have done a great job but I have no personal experience.

I then contacted Rolliworks and ,after a few emails, shipped the watch to them.
They contacted me after inspecting the watch and gave me an estimate. The bracelet was badly stretched and the entire watch was improperly polished. I also wanted them swap the crystal, dial and bezel to return it to "retail" condition.

They noted that the winding crown, hands and clasp front were badly worn and offered to replace them with original for a fair price so I agreed.

I received the watch back from them yesterday and I can honestly say that they did an awesome job. The watch looks and feels as new as a 50 year watch can. If anyone wants to see before/after pics, msg me.
