Visit to M. Young in HK

I had some items that needed attention from the maestro Mr. Young in HK. My sister flew to HK this week and dropped off some items for me. I asked her to take a pic or two so that i can put a visual with where i send my stuff. Sadly Mr. Young was not there but she took some photos. My sister said they were awesome and her husband dropped his watch off to be serviced as well. They have a hell of an operation over there.

Certainly the best band repairer on the planet, I was very impressed with his work also.

Michael is a great guy although he is very busy. But if you do catch him, he is a great guy to have a chat with.

Michael is a class act. He still replies to emails quickly and provides excellent service, even with the growth of his company. I have sent a few bands to him over the years and always been extremely happy with the results.

I've had at least 3 bracelets restored by MY over the years, and several bubbleback cases refinished, all first class jobs.

I wonder how much of that is due to TRF word of mouth?
