Excellent thread, Michael!
You've done a number of pieces for me and the results (all positive) speak for themselves.
I can also attest to the experience required to properly repair folded links--whether riveted or not. Over the years, I've repaired a number of riveted Rolex bands using the same process Michael demonstrated, but the bent links always end up misshapen. Definitely one of those watchsmithing skills that I'm still lacking.
