Bracelet restoration - Recommendations?

I've read about Michael Young in Hong Kong, but can anybody recommend somebody in the UK?

I have a nice vintage oyster bracelet which is stretched out and needs refurbishing.

Cheers

Well: I guess that it must be possible in the UK but I'm afraid you will not like the quote you'll get. What's your problem with shipping to MY? Dozens of people who've done it without hassle.

I asked (just for info) a FL company how much it would cost to overhaul a President bracelet (before I owned one) . . .

Price more than x 2.5 compared to the one of MY . . .

So . . . I would ship to him . . . why not . . . UPS or Fedex insured . .

Well, worth a try. But I guess the way to HK is the way forward.

Thanks!
