Nice! How old is your bracelet? It didn't look too bad except for the stretch.

That's what I thought. Exactly four weeks: London - Hong Kong and back. Brilliant!

Not to be a bummer, but did your bracelet come back far more dimpled than when it left? It could be the pictures but it looks to me that the bracelet was better finished in the before shots.

I'm glad you're happy with it though.

No, it looks fantastic, it's tight and a pleasure to wear. Very happy indeed.

Look great. After a couple of questionable posts about MY recently it is great to see his true work displayed in such detail. They are great photos which show a great job done. Great turnaround time too.

Again: why questionable? Sending to the wrong adress? Expecting whole conversations with MY? I've used him 3 times to full satisfaction.

Same with me. Always great work. Yours looks great.
I'm awaiting a Hencho jubilee on route from him as we speak.
Will give you an update when it arrives.

I wonder why RSC did not offer bracelets restore job?

perhaps if they do, they can't sell any replacement bracelets.

Very nice! He has my 79090 bracelet as well, still in the waiting phase. He quoted 8-10 weeks but perhaps I'll receive mine a little quiker as well. Seeing these pics I can't wait!
