Amazing transformation. Took a 1971 jubilee from rough to like new. Even filled in a hole.

Most bracelet don't require it. We laser weld as needed. Usually Oyster and president bands need welding. We have a more active thread with some photos.

Dont let your your bracelet get this far gone.

Now this is why:
Friction becomes unevenly distributed. Look at the advanced wear in these areas. Had the bracelet been a bit tighter the direction would have spread more evenly and the damage wouldn't have been to severe. |

Expect that a bracelet can be elevated 20-30% while keeping costs reasonable.
This is what worn tired gold Jubilee loops look like with new pins and tighten as much as possible without becoming stiff. It looks surprisingly good from the front side, but the overall feel of the bracelet is not nearly as nice as one with gold loops in good condition. Notice none of the sides of the gold links are neither straight not square. |

So many jagged edges on each gold link. Does make it near impossible to do a MINTY resto.
All work done in the good ol’ U.S. of A. |

This is a great thread. Glad I came across this.
@RoLLiWORKS at what stretch mark/percentage would you recommend jubilee bracelet tightening? I own a 80's TT 36mm DJ with 85% bracelet stretch. |
