How bad is this?

HogwldFLTR · 10 October 2017, 10:26 AM

Looks like it could use a trip to Michael Young for repair.

Floorguy · 10 October 2017, 10:40 AM

Yikes!!!

THC · 10 October 2017, 10:42 AM

Time for a M.Y. Treatment... 6 weeks there and back will be perfect

If it bothers you, send to MY or replace as advised. But, how is it on the wrist? If it suits the overall appearance of the watch head, why bother fixing a band without a full restoration?

I've had days like that...

Andad · 10 October 2017, 05:49 PM

Looks very fragile in that condition.

Take care if you wear it.

Bello_nyc · 10 October 2017, 06:46 PM

Horrible !

MonBK · 10 October 2017, 07:14 PM

Bad.

padi56 · 10 October 2017, 07:16 PM

Its quite badly worn but have seen worst, could be repaired and far cheaper than a new bracelet.

ohjnxg · 10 October 2017, 08:12 PM

michael young would make it tight

Yeah...you might want to have that looked at. If it bothers you.

luvan12 · 11 October 2017, 12:39 AM

That is borderline horrible. You need to repair it ASAP.

Bigblu10 · 11 October 2017, 12:40 AM

I would not wear as is because the bracelet pins could break as they are worn down thin.

snypa · 11 October 2017, 03:29 AM

That has seen some use! Needs an appointment with MY

I agree. On vintage 36mm pieces I've had them like that. To me, it's very comfortable and doesn't detract from the look of the watch.

This.

Aclockworkblue · 1 November 2017, 12:39 AM

So I just didn't know what to do.

I really didn't want to send the bracelet over to MY in Hong Kong and didn't want to exchange for the super jubilee through Rolex and pay those prices.

I ended up buying a previously loved authentic one online. The seller said it had about 75-80% life and it ran about $550

Opinions?

Leeq · 1 November 2017, 12:52 AM

Ouch! Thats pretty bad if you ask me!

Well the only thing is MY would have been just as much with all the welding he would have had to do. Plus I was reading the welding wasn't all that great looking.

tomchicago · 1 November 2017, 03:24 AM

I'd say it's barely broken in!

marv_lopez12 · 1 November 2017, 03:28 AM

Yikes! you may need a new one

Just out of curiosity, what does Rolex charge for replacement?

I was quoted from both Dallas and NY RSC $2200 WITH exchange. I wanted to keep the old bracelet, that was a no go for that price.

The only issue I had is it would have been the super jubilee, not the original jubilee.

This is my late fathers old watch and I want to keep it as original as possible. I understand that it might cost me to keep it original but its worth it in my opinion.

80% life is good for me, I just started the weekly washing routine. I even bought a really nice ultrasonic cleaner.
