    Rolex bracelet repair by TheWatchDealer.co.uk

    My old jubilee was decidedly stretched, so I sent it to Seth at thewatchdealer.co.uk for a bit of TLC - and I am very happy with the results!





    It's like new, and the only downside is that it's so tight it could do with another half link now!


    Took a while (three months) and comms could be better but - overall - I'm very happy!

    don't know any thing of rolex bracelets but got to ask would it not have been cheaper to buy a new one and at least quicker ?

    Have you seen how much decent quality Rolex bracelets go for...? A genuine one that's not trashed is about £500 and there are a lot of fakes.

    This cost me a lot less than half the price of a new one.

    I DID say "don't know any thing of rolex bracelets "
    so it was asked to clarify to those like me it was the better option it seems ..
