New to forum. have an 8385/8 bracelet that's old and needs rebuilt. Who can do this work? How much should it cost. Bracelet bought with President watch in the late 70's.

Just an FYI OP, most on here think that everyone knows who MY in HK is. It is Michael Young in Hong Kong in case you cant decipher the code.

Did mine also, same cost but less than a month turnaround.

OP, here are before and after pics so you can see the quality of the work.

@DonUldricks
Michael Young is the man, that's going to be the consensus.
But out of curiosity, could you post pics of the condition of your DD bracelet? How bad is it???

Hi all,

New to the forum also. Recently I bought my first vintage Gold Rolex. However, after looking at the President bracelet it is fitted with the stamps and hallmarks seen a bit different to other I have seen on the Internet.
Can anyone advise a member or other reference I could reference my bracelet with?

Michael

I don't have pictures of my 8385 president bracelet because it is with Rolex in Texas. Last week they sent me notice that they would do maintenance on my president watch but would not be willing to remount my bracelet because of it's condition. I am really not sure about their position as I knew it was stretched but not so much that they would reject it. Is this common practice for Rolex.

Ask for if back and send it to Michael Young.

Thanks for the advice. Based on everyone's contribution that is my plan. As soon as it arrives I will send it on to Michael Young.
